British-Colombian R&B soul artist Sasha Keable has just dropped her new single, "Act Right," and it’s honestly the perfect gateway into her soulful sonic universe. If you’ve been sleeping on her music, now’s your chance to discover what makes her stand out.
Raised on a musical diet of Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, and Mary J. Blige, Keable effortlessly channels these influences throughout her work. There’s something particularly reminiscent of Mary J. in her delivery—those smooth yet slightly raspy riffs that give her the presence of someone who’s been in the game for decades, not years.
The track features these gorgeous neo-soul-leaning keys and a vibey, sway-worthy beat that just hits different. It’s the perfect backdrop as she processes a lover’s behavior, dropping truth bombs like "If you wanted to, you would"—y’know, that painful realization we’ve all had about someone at some point.
Even if your love life hasn’t been a complete dumpster fire, the raw emotion in her voice connects immediately. The instrumentation smartly stays in its lane, giving her plenty of room to shine and do her thing.
The song’s got this late ’90s R&B vibe that Keable steps into like it was made for her. Her gift for rich, emotive delivery makes the nostalgic sound feel completely fresh and relevant.
From the moment you press play, it’s crystal clear—this woman means business. She carries herself with a quiet confidence that’s impossible to fake, making "Act Right" not just a song but a statement.
