Sandra Iris has released the vibey tune “11:00pm,” which is perfect for a late-night, cigar-smoked jazz club. The track incorporates references to various cities and pays homage to the jazz instrumentalist, Chet Baker. Sonically, it draws inspiration from artists such as Eloise, Laufey, Beabadoobee, and ¿Teó?. Its genre can be described as bedroom pop infused with jazz and bossa nova influences.
The song narrates the story of a couple who share a dream of traveling the world together. However, due to financial constraints, they are unable to do so. Instead, they find solace in meeting each other within their dreams, exploring different landscapes and countries. They hold onto the hope that one day their dream will become a reality.
Sandra Iris, a 27-year-old artist based in Madrid, Spain, embarked on her music career by uploading covers to YouTube at the age of 11. At 18, she formed a rock band that gained moderate popularity in the underground scene of Madrid. However, after two years, the band disbanded, prompting Sandra to pursue a solo career after meeting her producer, LEIDAN. Her debut single, “Dark Blue,” showcased a melancholic style, while subsequent releases like “Midnight Tacos” and “I’m Trash” embraced a bedroom pop sound. These singles caught the attention of Spotify, leading to their inclusion in editorial playlists such as “Fresh Finds España” and “Relax en Casa.”
Having established this musical direction, Sandra went on to work on her latest EP, “Moon Serenades.” Here, she further developed her bedroom pop sound, infusing it with Latin and jazz influences, occasionally incorporating Spanish lyrics into her songs.
After nearly a year, Sandra released “Dreaming Of The Sun” earlier this year. This song marked a shift in her sound, blending bedroom pop with bossa nova and incorporating electronic and acoustic elements. It serves as the lead single from her forthcoming EP, signaling an exciting new chapter in her musical journey.
