SAADI to release Bad City

As Paper Garden Records continues to expand its PR roster with the best up and coming acts across all genres, the radiant pop eccentric mastery of NYC’s SAADI is the perfect electropop delight to start off the new year! 2010 looks bright for this blossoming artist, with a Pianos residency already up and running for January and a 12” EP being released on March 9th.

Saadi's 12" Bad City EP is a rhythm-centric foray into catchy and likable futuresounds, lovingly pressed on 150g WHITE vinyl and comes with a free digital download.

SAADI biography
As precious stone is extracted from its natural environment to be cut and polished, revealing its infinite multi-colored reflections, SAADI derives elements of musical influence and transforms them into pop gems rich in melody and reflecting an almost schizophrenic obsession with music. SAADI, the musical pseudonym of the radiant Boshra al Saadi, is an eclectic and transcendental artist with a unique ability to create harmonious tunes tiled from fragmentations of both empathetic influence and detached curiosity. Drawing early influence from sources as diverse as Bob Dylan, classic 80's synth pop, traditional Arabic music, punk rock, Nigerian music and Brian Eno, SAADI assembles her musical creation to form what is fundamentally her own. This collision of pop-smarts, exotic influences and fearless eclecticism spawns music which sounds both sophisticated and delightfully accessible.

Songwriter Boshra AlSaadi was born in a tiny village in Damascus, Syria before relocating and growing up in a rainy suburb of Pittsburgh. At the tender age of 17 she moved to NYC's East Village where she has resided and created music ever since. Having developed her New York roots with Serious Business band, Looker, SAADI has come into her own with the upcoming 12"/EP titled "Bad City". Due for release in March 2010. Prepare to dance.
