Sadie Jean's music is as universal as a late-night conversation with your best friend. She reached millions of people with the release of her debut single "WYD Now?", a tear-jerking plea to an old flame to do it right one more time. Since its release, the song has reached more than 150 million Spotify streams and has been certified gold by the RIAA, due solely to its pure, raw emotion. Multi-platinum artist Rod Wave sampled the song in his song "2018," which marked Sadie's Hot 100 debut, and invited Sadie to perform the song as a guest on a 30-date, sold-out arena tour.
In 2022, she released her second single, "Locksmith," an equally moving ballad that has also surpassed 100 million Spotify streams. These deeply vulnerable singles became the blueprint for the tracks that would make up the rest of her debut project "Simple Like 17". Throughout the project, Sadie Jean pairs wise and incisive lyrics with timeless, uncomplicated arrangements, revealing something powerful: that sometimes, while you're longing for another person, you're really searching for yourself.
