Sara Cruz presents Fourteen Forty-Five (1445)
On the release day of her debut album, October 18, Sara Cruz presents it live at the event Ovar Expande 2024.
Sara Cruz launches her debut album titled Fourteen Forty-Five (1445) on October 18, which includes the singles that the Azorean singer-songwriter has revealed over the past few months: “Day or Two,” “Faithful,” “Grass Is Greener,” “Plot Holes,” and “The Show.”
As an Azorean who was born and raised in the middle of the Atlantic, between Europe and North America, Sara Cruz incorporates into her work the rich influence of American folk, which, intertwined with the pop/singer-songwriter universe, gives the album a current, international, and engaging sound. While never failing to involve her roots and origins in her compositions.
Fourteen Forty-Five (1445) refers to the approximate distance in kilometres that separates Ponta Delgada, the artist’s hometown, from Lisbon, the city where she has been settled for the past few years and where this album took shape. This number is more than a geographical measure; it reflects the duality of the two territories and the artist’s journey, who has divided her life between the two cities and realities, both filled with their emotional richness.
“Fourteen Forty-Five ultimately ends up being the banner number of this phase of my existence. It is a number representative of the context of my life in recent years, a stamp. It is between Lisbon and Ponta Delgada that I have been living for the past almost 3 years, and that has always had a huge influence on my way of existing,” confesses Sara Cruz, explaining her deep personal connection with the album’s title.
Produced by fellow Azorean Cristóvam, Fourteen Forty-Five was a meticulously constructed work, where the songs of Sara Cruz and Cristóvam’s production united to deliver a remarkable and authentic album. Each track on this album is a piece of how Sara Cruz has experienced and felt her life between the Atlantic and the world.
On the release day of her debut album, October 18, Sara Cruz will present it live in Ovar at the event Ovar Expande 2024.
Sara Cruz was Novo Talento FNAC in 2019, winner of the “NiT New Talent” contest, participated in the documentary “House of Talents,” promoted by Yamaha Music Europe, and recently, was part of the Group Grant of the 28th OuTonalidades for the showcase program.
With a promising future ahead, Sara Cruz continues to impress and inspire with her authentic and passionate music. Evidence of this has been her recent journey with appearances at prominent events such as the IKFEM Festival, a prestigious festival that promotes unique concerts that cross Spanish and Portuguese cultures, and which featured Sara Cruz as one of the three emerging Portuguese projects to present a showcase at the International Bridge, as well as the two Azorean festivals Meo Monte Verde, where she debuted on the main stage, accompanied by artists Cristóvam and Romeu Bairos and Maré de Agosto.
