#SASAMI comes to terms with a dying relationship on “Make It Right”

SASAMI’s sophomore album — the refreshingly caustic and unapolagetically heavy Squeeze — is out Friday via Domino. Today, she’s sharing its sixth and final single, “Make It Right,” along with a high-gloss music video.

The new track finds the Los Angeles singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist balancing on a remarkably even vocal keel as she struggles to make peace with an irrevocably broken relationship — though the track’s breakneck tempo and nervously loud guitar line imply a less serene state of mind than her lyrics and tone suggest.

“‘Make It Right’ is an ode to Fleetwood Mac’s more tantrum-y vibes with a hair of Crass-y marching snare,” SASAMI writes. “She’s a desperation bop about not being communicated with. I love a fuzzy riff. Need more guitar riffs in 2022.”

The song’s visual treatment — directed by Euphoria costume designer Heidi Bivens and styled by Euphoria assistant costume designer Angelina Vitto, with makeup by Euphoria and Pen15 makeup artist Alexandra French — follows SASAMI in a subtle cat-and-mouse game with herself, or with a very convincing clone. She trails her doppleganger through city streets and tails her car to an abandoned building in the country where they join in a passionless embrace before the credits roll. “Heidi has an incredible eye for beauty, shapes, and mystery,” she says of her director.
