In “Could You Be Love”, Sabine McCalla sets doubt and hope swaying to a velvet-soft melody that feels like a soul dream soaked in nostalgia. Her voice, deep and magnetic, immediately captures the essence of a love that longs to be real, steady, and comforting. No flashy tricks here, just a lingering question, “Like when I cry out in pain, will you hold me in vain”, and a tender groove that wraps itself around you like a warm embrace. Directed by A. Hennen Payne, the music video places Sabine at the mic in a cozy bar with vintage charm, as if time itself had slowed down. Around her, a couple dances slowly, lost in their own little world, living proof of the love Sabine is chasing in her lyrics. Produced by Eli Paperboy Reed, this soul-infused gem is a quiet triumph. Don’t miss it, Slash Music brings you this one.
“Like when I cry out in pain, will you hold me in vain” – Sabine McCalla
A Southern voice on the rise
Hailing from New Orleans, Sabine McCalla carries the rich spirit of the American South in her music, a sound shaped by its swamps, its struggles, and its unwavering soul. Her influences run deep, rooted in the traditions of gospel, folk, country-blues, and R&B, and her songs always feel lived-in, honest, and fiercely human.
In 2018, she unveiled her EP “Folk”, a five-track project that showcased her raw storytelling talent through songs like “I Went to the Levee”, “Save My Soul”, and “Roads We Wander”. The release marked a turning point in her journey, earning her growing recognition among lovers of roots music and beyond.
This summer, she’s back on tour: kicking things off as the opening act for The Deslondes from New York to Louisville, before flying solo for a string of intimate shows across England. Fans can expect a blend of heartfelt vocals, stripped-down arrangements, and that unmistakable Southern soul. Keep a close watch, Sabine McCalla is carving her name in the story of modern American music.
