Broadway actress Saycon Sengbloh (“Motown The Musical”/”Fela”) has released her new single titled “Be Here.” Lifted from her upcoming album, the heartfelt ballad is about true love. Saycon likes simple things. She isn’t into material things — they don’t make her happy. Instead, the love she gets from her partner makes her happy.
” ‘Be Here’ is a love song, a ballad that I wrote with a lot of passion,” said Saycon.”Anyone who hears it can feel the sense of yearning in my voice. The lyrics are mantra for anyone who’s ever claimed true love. I’ve played a lot of strong characters in my work but I’m excited to finally reveal the most vulnerable side of myself and see what happens next”
Quite frankly, Sengbloh’s vocals are impeccable. Her ability to sing with such emotion added to the meaning behind the song. We’re certainly looking forward to more music from Sengbloh.
