Messages from the Future

New full length from Public Transit

     

Public Transit Recordings and TheFutureIsNow Productions are thrilled to announce the debut full-length release of Sarah Linhares, "MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE" (MFTF).

Sarah Linhares has a passion for expressing herself through music and dance, whether she's writing, recording, mixing vocals in her 'closet' studio or taking her place on stage, she always brings it. Although Linhares is just getting started, she's no stranger to some international attention. In 2006 she released Pura Vida on PTR after an extensive artist residency in Venezuela and was eventually selected to the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy. At RBMA she worked in the studio with Om'mas Keith from SA-RA and was encouraged to keep singing by Ethiopian Jazz master Mulatu Astatke. The entire experience initiated the creative and conceptual inspiration for MFTF. Now Sarah is on a mission to tour the world and write new future classics with talented heads.

MFTF brings you a blend of Sarahʼs fresh soulful vocals and gospel-inspired harmonies with dirty electronic beats, heavy synthesizers, thick bass-lines, and 8-bit cosmic dust. The record features collaborations with several talented producers / musicians including Moonstarr, Kenlo Craqnuques, Sikh Knowledge, Think Twice, Aklimatize, Camplaix, celebrated pianist David Ryshpan, super bassist Mark Haynes, drummer Anthony Pageot and vocalists Wayne Tennant and IamBlackgirl. Fans of Erykah Badu, Kissy Asplund, Amalia and J. Davey definitely take note. Inspiration for MFTF was born in the unlikeliest of places, namely the 1984 film The Terminator. In the movie Sarah (Connor) is given a message from the future explaining that she will have to be stronger than she ever imagined possible in order to get through the darkness and come out the other side. Only then can her future self exist. This concept inspired Sarah L's own personal and creative journey from living in the past to overcoming and evolving into her future self, the passionate artist who stands before you today. The future is now!
