Los Angeles producer and singer-songwriter Dan Sadin last week released his debut EP, a self-titled rocker with bold emotion and inspiring flourishes in production. Mining his soul after heartbreak from a relationship and over a country divided, Sadin — the guitarist for the electro-pop outfit FRENSHIP who has also played with the likes of Sabrina Claudio, Jessie Ware and MØ — debuts with four songs in the vein of the classic-rock heroes he grew up listening to.

The video for the second track, “Here Comes the Heartbreak,” directed by Naomi Christie, features Sadin owning up to his pain and allowing his emotions to flow through his songwriting. “I was sitting in my studio and it all caught up with me – but before all those feelings fully arrived, I could [see] them coming,” says Sadin, born Danny Sadin Schnair. “It was such a weird, delayed, out-of-body experience. Sitting there thinking, ‘this is really gonna hurt,’ like staring down the train that’s about to hit you.”

 A gentle ode to the emotional overwhelm that involuntary hits after losing a relationship, Sadin shows that allowing the tears to flow ultimately brings one out of that grief, “… despite my sadness I had so much respect and gratitude for the life we had shared together,” he says. “It’s more of an eulogy celebrating the relationship we had rather than a mourning of it.”
