Obama Day!

Hey, I never got to post these pics so here they are. Better late then never, right?
So first I went to vote @ this Senior Citizen spot... it was mad empty, but the energy in there was uplifting. Almost spiritual, as if we were all in on some golden secret. On the streets in Bed-Stuy there were people smiling and standing on corners with elders looking proud. It felt almost too weird..but so right...like a community!
Going to work was the hardest thing I did all day (I walked 2 miles in itchy wool pants and that sucked too...). I stay on the texts and calls to hear the updates. Customers came second.
Once I finally got off, I ran over to a bar close to work with my new friend Lolita (We met that night, drank wine and talked life) just in time to see Obama take the stage. What a beautiful day it was!
From there, it was an all night celebration! Bob Marley, organic beer and good peoples...

FREEBIE in the name of Goodbye!

I wrote this song long before the elections...actually I think I wrote this right after Hurricane Katrina. Sittin in the house watching BUSH on the T.V. screen, thinking of a way I could personally take over the white house. I decided to take out my frustration on this track by Dj Don Cuco.. Only wish I would have got it out before we elected Obama. I dont want people to get it twisted by the lyrics..
Im giving this one out for now as a freebie so get it here (press download button on the player)..

Say Goodbye BUSH!

Goodbye BUSH. by Sarah White

Why I love G & D

So, just some background. I have been trying to find a way into the RBMA now for 3 years. Two years I missed the deadline, the other year I was rejected... yes. Everyone loves a good rejection letter now and then. 2009 will be my year. Im getting in. Putting it out there in faith. Anyways, I was on the site looking for inspiration and being jealous of all of the past attendees, when I stumbled across a lecture by Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins. It is over an hour long, but if you have the time, some back to it and really listen. I know alot of people thought they were crazy and off topic, but I loved every minute of it. We need more people like this on the planet. Its all love! Show some! G & D

Took this from the site: "There's the next level and there's the level after that. Then, squinting down on both those levels through binoculars from some unfathomable point miles above, there is Georgia Anne Muldrow. Her first album Olesi: Fragments Of An Earth (Stones Throw, 2006) sounds like a classic soul record melted over a Salvador Dali tree branch. It's like she got her Roland TR-808 really high before starting to compose each and every song on the strange fruit salad of hip hop blues. Now combine the artist's beautifully ragged, sometimes Dilla-esque production sense with smart, surreal poetics and what you get is not just the freshest voice to emerge in the last decade of soul music."

Im wet.

yeah, so I posted this on WRONGLIPS, but here it is again... Check it!

Treats!

I love my man, but seriously... I have to tip my hat to Bob. Ladies, enjoy...

NEW TRACK: REACHING UP'
PAPAJAZZ X SARAH WHITE

Reachin' Up- by Sarah White

My obsession with Dragons...

I've been all over Little Dragon for some time now. Interviewed the singer, Yukimi, for both TRACE and Wronglips. Well, they are finally doing a U.S. tour, and on the way to NY. Holla!!!!


come listen to the FUTURE....

Fade: Remixed

Fade - JTodd RMX by Sarah White

Free remix from JTODD!!!
This track, FADE, I actually wrote years..and years ago. It was one of the first songs Rico and I made that we actually liked. Its funny, the song is about our love fading, but years later, I still love my boo. Fade finally dropped on the EP in September, but this remix should come out soon (along with some other FRESH remixes!)
I'm too broke to give out free music very often, but if I do, it will be on this blog. So keep checkin for updates and new tracks like this!

Take it to the BRIDGE!!!!

If I would have known I couldn't afford a sitter tonight, I would have used a condom... Im kidding. This looks like it will be the jump off tonight. Ill be at home cursing and eating chocolate.

OBAMA or else!!!!!!

VOTE>VOTE>VOTE> --------------------------------- Its just a matter of days now until the election, and I find myself a bit nervous. Excited, but nervous. What a huge job the next president is going to have with all of the mess BUSH has left us. Are you serious? How does he even sleep at night?! Bush is obviously an idiot, but to think there are so many in this country that still love and support him, makes me sick to my stomach. God bless America. Well, yesterday I was thinking about the moment I really fell in love with Obama. I had missed his speech, but I was working @ TRACE and Dallas Austin (I was interviewing him for the Peace issue) told me to check out the video Will.iam made. It was the first time in my life that I ever felt all warm and fuzzy about the U.S.A. I had to go into the bathroom to hide my tears, and I found myself confused about my feelings. What was it ? Hope. EVERYONE be sure to vote. If you dont care about your country, do it for the kids of the future. They have to suffer from all of our mistakes. These are some of my favorites............

ANOTHER BLOG?????????

Yes. I know. I am already "virtually" everywhere. You can find me on Sound Cloud to Facebook, Myspace to Coopr8, LinkedIn to Wronglips.. But I really feel like I need place where I can just speak my mind. Politic off the tip of the tongue. Shed light on beautiful things I see on the daily : sushi, dance moves, sex toys, remixes, underground events, kicks...whatever and whenever I see fit. So, this is it! SARAH WHITE BLACK. I added the "Black" for many reasons but the 4 worth mentioning: 1. I LOOOOVE being BLACK. 2. There are way to many Sarah White's online that are also in the arts. 3. As a personal reminder that I started the band Black Blondie, and the reference to BLACK came from a black singer in the band (lol) and 4. I just like it.

Below will fill you up to speed if you have no idea who I am. If you care, check it out. If not--stay tuned for the posts.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<This is me.
Birthname: Sarah Maricha White.
Born and raised in Minneapolis.
I recently (2007) moved to Brooklyn in search of culture, opportunity and the push I needed to get off my ass and live. Found it! I currently work as a singer/songstress/producer, photographer and writer--with a background in fashion, music and art.
Since I have moved to NY I have done some crazy things to pay the bills, but right now, Im blessed to have found this cute organic spot in noho that pays in cash. Bonus.

I have a beautiful family. Rico aka Dj Don Cuco, came into my life almost 5 years ago at a club. The Lounge. Who knew a few dates, one gig and a week in Mexico would give me a daughter. Iza. She is the sunshine of my life. See here:

Rico is not only my "baby daddy" but also my partner and primary producer in my music game. We just released our first EP, Hiding Blind. So far, we have had alot of good feedback and have been completely humbled and shocked by how many people love and support our music. Love you all long time. Rico is a bomb Dj (Dj Don Cuco, that is) and he plays some of the most eclectic sets of music I have ever heard. Even here in BK, when he's playing, people are always rushing him for the names of tracks from his set. Thats flava. He plays madd instruments and is a talented composer. The world will soon see... But he's mine ladies. Don't even step.

I have been in 2 other Bands- Traditional Methods and Black Blondie, but have also worked on collabs with artist worldwide.

Traditional Methods was live hip-hop. Political, jazzy, hippie.. kind of with a Digable Planets feel, but from the Midwest. We made music for the people, music for the soul. Played rallies, parties, colleges..Whatever we could do to spark a light. We released a full length, Falling Forward in 2004. Then split shortly after because I got pregs. Ooops. I still love our music though.

Falling Forward by Sarah White

Started Black Blondie with my Aquarian sister, Samahra Linton in 2006? I think towards the end of the year. At first it was funny. We had great ideas, but no one would be in our band. It was like pulling teeth. Finally it all came together and we were blessed to find a group that worked well together and made amazing music. Those were the days. We had a mini-tour to the East coast, and I fell in love. With Black people making music like me. With parties in Fort Greene bumpin' soul all night. With passion and art packed in each street in Brooklyn. It was a wrap. Without hesitation, the family and I bounced.... to Brooklyn baby! Black Blondie went on, and though the Black is gone, the music is still magical (MORE) and will slap people in the face once an album drops. I cant even hate on good music, no matter the drama. Sam can sing her ass off. She always will.

Candy Cigarettes by Sarah White

So now? Its just me. No more procrastinating. Make this shit happen, each looong day at a time. Ill post more about Hiding Blind, my future releases, collabs, photos, secrets, etc as the blog grows. Today is just the beginning. Holla like its hot.
