Sara Indrio makes music that is somewhat reminiscent of the style and sound that Norah Jones has popularized. But Indrio gives her contemporary folk pop a flavor of her own with her background as a percussionist, her distinct vocals and lyrical perspective.
Indrio started her musical career as a percussionist during her teenage age years. At age 18, she was admitted to the prestigious Conservatory of Rhythmical Music in Copenhagen. During her studies she developed an interest in Latin American percussion, which led to a brief time in Cuba where she studied Afro-Cuban folklore drumming.
When she return to Denmark, she forged relationships with several local pop musicians with whom she collaborated. Warner Music in Sweden recognized Indrio's talent and offered her a record deal. Her first album "Dark Clouds, Silver Linings" was a critical success in 2004 and was followed by "While We Dream" last year.
The song that is currently impacting radio stations in the U.K. is "Big City Night." It is a scaled-down folky pop song that clearly demonstrates Indrio's gift for poetic storytelling. It also reflects the singer's fascination with making "darkness and light intertwine" in her songs. "Zipping up your coat, heading home. Through the Big City Night. Always someone with something to sell. Down by the red lights," she sings. "At the bar with a cigarette. In the Lonely Hearts Club. There’s a way out by going in. Just give in and give up."
