Saro

Pairing his soulful falsetto with intricate electronics, Los Angeles' moody alt-R&B-pop artist Saro crafts songs that are as graceful as they are cathartic. He earned acclaim for the blend of danceable beats and cinematic moods he introduced on 2016's debut EP In Loving Memory; by the time his Boy Afraid EP appeared the following year, he was drawing comparisons to Morrissey and opening for Miguel. Saro's music grew richer as he opened up about love and loss as a gay man on 2019's Die Alone EP, and on 2021's "Daddy I Love Him," he combined pleasure and pain with therapeutic honesty.
