Sannia | Go And Get Over


Sannia's debut track, Go And Get Over, has been making collecting fans since its release in mid-June. The tune, which is rapidly increasing 25,000 streams on Spotify, is a deeply personal delve into breaking up and moving on. While the minimalism of the song is a new direction in a highly produced music industry, it's exactly that which makes it so refreshing. Sannia expects nothing of her audience aside from the time it takes to listen. (Three minutes, 39 seconds to be precise.)

"This song developed really organically for me, I was actually driving home late one night and just sort of started singing the first words that came to mind to keep myself awake...Go And Get Over is about literally just that, the cyclical process of moving on from someone while at the same time reminiscing on everything that was and what it's become now, which I think a lot of people can relate to. You almost go through these sort of seven stages of grief - leaving them, missing them, going back, getting hurt, and trying to exact change - it takes its toll."

The song, and its accompanying video clip, follows a similar cyclical pattern, throwing listeners head first into the painful experience of starting over. Sannia shows no signs of the relative novice that she is to the music industry, instead presenting her voice as though this is another album and not a debut single. It's her self-assured and emotive vocals that really draw people in. There is no sign of naivety, and, despite her lyrics of beginning again, this is a girl who clearly knows who she is, what she's worth, and is ready to share it with the masses.
