Joey Sachi is an Aussie-born, Tokyo-based singer/songwriter and pop artist, who can trace the origins of her career to her childhood: She grew up in a household where music was not only a pivotal and integral part of her life, but where she quickly became ins tired to follow in the footsteps of the pop icons she admired.
Before relocating to Tokyo, Sachi became intrigued by songwriting after studying Classical music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
As a songwriter, Sachi cites the likes of Jamie xx, Daft Punk, and Sabrina Claudio as influences on her sound and approach, which sees her attempting to bridge the gaps between pop and electronic music while paired with introspective and emotionally intimate lyrics.
“7 Seconds,” the Aussie-born, Tokyo-based artist’s latest single is a hook driven and breezy pop confection featuring a simple yet propulsive beat and glistening synth arpeggios serving as an atmospheric bed for Sachi’s ethereal delivery. The pair explain that they “wanted to experiment making a track inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams‘ with a simple beat/layers and a topline influenced by Stevie Nicks‘ melodic creativity. While nodding at Stevie Nicks, I think the song reminds me a bit more of JOVM mainstay ACES and others.
Sachi explains that the song is inspired by the life story of Clive Wearing. “Clive Wearing is a British classical musician whose life was devastatingly impacted by a rare and severe form of memory loss. The profoundly beautiful part of Clive’s story is that his wife Deborah remained a constant in his life – the deepest of connections…almost instinctual, that despite his memory resetting every few seconds allowed him to always seek comfort amongst his fragmented existence.
Inspired by his story we created ‘7 Seconds’, exploring the divine beauty in a love so deep, one that endures all the ebbs and flows of life.”
