“Heavy Love” by Sara Routh
streaming now
Recorded at Golden Bear Records during the 2020 pandemic, Routh’s third album, “Heavy Love” invites the listener into a world of big, sometimes uncontrollable emotions. Bringing to light the up’s and down’s of love, this newest addition to Routh’s ever-evolving catalogue of music brings something new and raw to her listeners.
“I wanted to get into the studio, dig deep and put aside any pre-conceived ideas my audience may have expected from a third album. It was time I started a new musical journey and introduce the evolution to my sound. I found it important for me to deliver an album that audiences from every generation could connect with. During the making of “Heavy Love” I grew to digest, understand and believe in my potential as a creative and welcomed the adventure it took me on.”

I wrote this song before leaving LA. I was watching a couple converse quietly and then with force. This made me question how often we tell others how we actually feel about them. Think back to that time when you met someone you really clicked with but never took the opportunity to let them know how cool they were. Take the chance, let them know – before you can’t.
Released October 27, 2021
“Home” was conceived on my white linen couch in Los Angeles, CA. I was in the process of packing up my life in order to continue my journey back home to Iowa. A song for my sweetheart, this track embodies the uplifting feeling I have when I think of him and how incredibly “right on time” my wanderlust adventures have been. Home is in your heart. Home is with whomever and wherever you create love. You are my home.

what people are saying.
“Her long-awaited sophomore album, Black Sheep, was released on September 24, 2015, featuring five songs that firmly place Routh in the folk and alt country genre. Ingeniously produced by Los Angeles producer Damian Fink and recorded at Thud Studio in North Hollywood, Black Sheep is a raw, emotion-packed journey inspired by Routh’s world travels.”
— No Depression Magazine
“Routh’s work manages to catch you in time and make your world stop for a little bit. Her lyrics are good; she is clever and clearly writes from her heart. But it is that voice and the way she makes it dip and dive and swirl around your head like a half-remembered dream that make Black Sheep worth your time and effort.”
— Chad Taylor, City View Magazine
“Routh’s new material, while different from some of her earlier stuff, still reflects the small- town Midwestern girl who has spent time in the big city and on another lands, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.”
— Robert Leggett, LA Music Critic
