‘Drowning’ is a resolute and powerful anthem from a singer and songwriter who has a penchant and desire to pen uplifting and empowering pop ballads that are larger than life in scale and emotional resilience. Combining a massive, nigh orchestral scale arrangement alongside a keenly vulnerable and emotive lyrical core, Sarah Anne Fernandez manages to build and sing that quintessential sad yet uplifting anthem. It’s all about being overburdened by feelings of insecurity, so immensely suffocating that you find yourself drowning under all your fears and confusions. That juxtaposition between where you are today with where you want to be tomorrow, understanding that you’re struggling with certain fears but completely understanding the need to live for a stronger tomorrow compels you to go out and challenge yourself in the wake of whatever insurmountable odds present themselves.
