Sarah de Warren Returns to Her Roots on ‘Breathing Underwater’
Teaming up with CIRCA96, she steps away from mainstage techno and back into trance-led emotion, delivering soaring vocals and a deeply personal reflection on devotion and surrender.
With recent club dates taking her from Honolulu to Rotterdam, Hong Kong to Las Vegas, Singapore to London, Sarah de Warren steps briefly off the road to unveil her latest single. Swapping the bold mainstage techno energy of recent releases ‘What U Like’ and ‘Games’, she links up with CIRCA96 (a.k.a. Craig Connelly) for the trance-tipped ‘Breathing Underwater’.
A return to her roots, Breathing Underwater reveals another side of Sarah’s artistry - the emotional songwriter behind the club records. Floating over the production with soaring, ethereal vocals, she taps into the more vulnerable edges of her sound while keeping the intensity intact.
Built around themes of devotion, surrender and love beyond limitation, the track pairs vivid lyricism with a sense of emotional escapism, designed as much for the heart as the dancefloor.
Having created quite the CIRCA96-stir of late (not least with his remix of Ton TB’s ‘Electronic Malfunction’, which Tiësto used to ignite Dreamscape), Craig Connelly’s weighs in on the production side. He outfits ‘Breathing Underwater’ with shimmering arpeggios, cascading synths, bleeped lament and a pulsating drive that amplifies Sarah’s message beyond measure.
