What’s a record that shaped your creativity?Īccording to my Spotify Wrapped, it would be Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus. I’m so glad we did because it was awesome to be so involved with the Games Committee in that way and to see these young athletes come into their element in front of the camera. We didn’t want to lose the sports aspect of the song, so we cast local Niagara athletes as every character in the video. We wanted to make it very Alice in Wonderland - like once you allow yourself to fully realize your talents, you end up in this magical world. I collaborated with my favourite director, Kate Harrison, on this video. Tell us about the music video and the idea behind it ? It was interesting to navigate with time change and never actually being in the studio together, but it really made us have to trust each other a lot and I always knew that Stephen would send back a file that I would absolutely love. I worked with a wonderful producer from the UK, Stephen Lipson (Hans Zimmer, Annie Lennox, BIllie Eilish) who was a dream come true. However, it was totally different because it was the pandemic. Recording this album was so incredible, especially because I was lucky enough to do it during the pandemic.
STEELHEART TOUR DATES 2021 FULL
I’m also a huge fan of classic Nashville songwriting where you paint a full picture of a scene for someone in the verses, or construct a folklore with really fantastical characters.Īny funny anecdotes from the time you were recording or writing the album? Even just feelings that I hadn’t been able to adequately describe until someone else painted a nice little vignette. I draw a lot from books - lines that move me or characters that I want to go deeper with. My bookcases are always overflowing and my library card is always in heavy rotation. What are some sources of inspiration for your storytelling? So Steel Heart really represents following your intuition, and trusting that it will always guide you in the right direction. And the only thing that will push you to keep going in the face of that is your heart and your passion. I really believe musicians and athletes take on a similar path in that, there is no one concrete way to get there - there is a lot of struggle, uncertainty, rejection, and hardship. Since I am not so athletic myself, I wanted to find a way to anchor the inspiration. For me, it’s looking at the whole picture of telling the story. I’m a very visual artist, so the moment I write something in the studio, I’m already picturing what the video would look like, how the album art will be, what sort of stage production I’d like. In 2018 I was on the CTV show The Launch which really introduced me to some major people in the industry and I built on everything after that. I was always driving down to Toronto to play shows anywhere I could. I played in a few bands in high school, but really got into it in university. I’ve always been one! My earliest memories are sitting around my house singing to my stuffed animals, writing lyrics on scrap paper in my room. Since being discovered on the first season of the hit Canadian music show THE LAUNCH, POESY has accrued over two million catalogue streams and is currently working with standout British music producer Stephen Lipson, who has previously worked with the likes of Billie Eilish, Annie Lennox, and Hans Zimmer. POESY is the solo project of singer/songwriter/pianist Sarah Botelho. POESY will also take part in a 200-Day-Out celebration concert on January 20, 2022, at the Meridian Centre alongside three other performers who will be announced in the coming weeks. Catharines, as well as the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, August 21, 2022, at Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls. POESY will perform ‘Steel Heart’ at the Games’ Opening Ceremony on Saturday, August 6, 2022, at the Meridian Centre in St. ‘Steel Heart’, which is a song written, produced and recorded by POESY, aims to inspire Games’ athletes and others to keep pursuing their dreams.
