Sassiyha pay tribute to Kristen Stewart on their song of the same name. The Skep Wax signings wanted to pay tribute to the actor because ‘She’s grown up in the public eye and has still managed to become the person we absolutely hoped she would – someone proud of her queerness plus she’s really cool and fun.’
A queer anthem in waiting, it opens with art-pop guitar stabs and plenty of chiming sensibility as the band address Kristen directly in an Art Brut-meets-Panic Shack style: ‘Hey Kristen, which lucky lady are you kissing?’ They then go on to celebrate even more about Kristen – ‘Having a quick spliff, showing your midriff, sneakers and sport socks makes all the girls hot’.
There’s even a reference to when Sassyhiya’s Helen almost met Kristen outside a KFC, but like all the best love songs, it just wasn’t to be – adding an element of what could have been to this bouncy and celebratory ode.
