Regarding
the new project Sarah shared with her fans: “Writing and recording Canyon
over the last couple years has been this beautiful sense of freedom. It reminds me of the music I was drawn to as
a kid dreaming off my back porch in Iowa.
More than anything I hope this album transports you somewhere
beautiful. Road trips down the 101 to
Pink Skies in between. This album is my
heart, myself wrapped up into 10 tracks. It’s for my hippies and cowboys and
everyone in between. Get ready for some
sunshine and Nostalgia!
It's
a roll your windows down, drive somewhere beautiful and VIBE! It's how I hope
you listen to my album. A 70s golden era in my mind, influenced by that laurel
canyon sound, nostalgia wrapped in sunshine, I hope you love it. I'm grateful
to everyone who helped me create my vision”!

The
excellent 13 track WONDERLAND was officially released on June 7, 2019. EF COUNTRY wrote: Overall, with
Wonderland Sarah Darling has delivered another strong album of country-pop
songs which also shows her being unafraid to branch out and experiment. It
still retains all the hallmarks that made UK audiences fall in love with her,
namely vivid lyrics, lush dreamy melodies and sweet vocals, but with some
interesting touches that stop it from being too same. The whole record has a
great summery feel about, especially on long drives – it feels like it was made
for the open road – and I think it will appeal to fans old and new, with plenty
of potential for where she might go next.
Sarah commented: Making ‘Wonderland’ has been one of the greatest musical adventures I’ve ever had in my life. Every song is so incredibly special to me and tells my story. It imprints this very special time in my life, when I got to create a country album in the UK. Describing ‘Wonderland’ as “a transformative time in her life, one that has allowed her to experiment in new sonic territories. “The whole concept of my ‘Wonderland’ album was to explore a brand new world artistically. Because of my connection to the U.K., I thought ‘what better place to bring my Nashville roots to be creative’. I think it’s good as an artist to stretch the boundaries, because you are always growing and that’s how you find new magic and move forward to wonderful, new places.”

On

SESSIONS) Speaking to musicandtournews about the project
as a whole, Sarah Darling stated: “The name “Campfire Sessions” evokes a
visual of sitting around a fire playing these to my friends. It brings me back
to my childhood when I started with just a guitar, playing my tunes for anyone
who would listen! These are acoustic covers of some of my favorite songs that
hold special meaning to me or have influenced me at a time in my life. Most
will have been hit songs when they were first released, although maybe not so
well known now, so I’m really excited to be introducing them to my fans, done
in my own way!”
Having
not released a full-length project post-pandemic, Sarah returned with the “stunning” nostalgic themed 10-track
album CANYON on Oct 4, 2024. Singles “Red Mustang, “Silver
Linings” (arguably Sarah Darling’s most impressive release to date)
