Toronto Singer-Songwriter Sarah Hiltz Shares New Single “May I Rage, May I Love” From Forthcoming Album

With a fresh start to the year, Toronto-based singer-songwriter, Sarah Hiltz, shares May I Rage, May I Love. Her first single release of 2022 will be featured on an upcoming album, Calm Fury, out March 4. The project embraces and grapples with the topic of anger in layered, raw artistry. “May I Rage, May I Love” explores how anger connects with spirituality, and the concept of justified anger, and safe spaces. It arrives with a video directed by Sandi Barrett, capturing stunning, monochromatic scenes of people in deep reflection, coming to terms with their anger and fears, meeting them in spaces with love and catharsis. 

This song is full of close notes held in tension, a kind of audible mirror of the internal struggle I go through in allowing myself to get angry when I see wrong in the world while still holding true to my deepest value (love),” Sarah reflects. “Rage and Love feel like they’re at odds with each other (at least to me), but I believe it’s in balancing them that I might be able to contribute to shifting the injustices that cause harm across the globe. Learning how to hold both of these things at the same time might be the most important spiritual work I ever personally do.”

Through unsuspecting horn flourishes and haunting, melancholic vocal delivery, Sarah Hiltz delivers a passionate and striking performance that finds a balance between a range of emotions. Its accompanying black and white visual helps to accentuate the dark edges of the music.
