Biography

“If Shania Twain + Daft Punk met at an 80s aerobics class, sweatily hooked up & had a gay baby… she would be named ‘Cost of Love’”. ‘Cost Of Love’ is driven by shuffling drums, hooky guitars reminiscent of the late 70s & of course Sandridge’s unmistakable voice. ‘Cost Of Love’ is without question, a testament to Sandridge’s ability to write a sophisticated & unforgettable pop-banger. Working with songwriter & producer Dave Jenkins Jr (Daniel Johns, Vera Blue) & Lucy Taylor (Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding), Sandridge wrote ‘Cost Of Love’ at their apartment in Clovelly in Sydney with additional production from long term collaborator Gab Strum (Japanese Wallpaper). Grammy-nominated British engineer Geoff Swan (Charlie XCX, Haim) mixed the track. ‘Cost Of Love’ is the first track to be shared from Bec Sandridge’s collection of new songs on her ‘Lost Dog’ EP; due October 7th. Combining elements of pop & dance-synth hooks, the new EP highlights her love of bold soundscapes which transport listeners into an alternate state. As always, the songs are framed by her signature sound (& love) of sad songs that are danceable. In 2019 Sandridge released her debut album ‘TRY + SAVE ME’ spawning the singles ‘Animal’, ‘I’ll Never Want A BF’, ‘Eyes Wide’ & ‘Stranger’ which scored second place in the International Songwriting Competition Unsigned Category. Last year Sandridge composed the soundtrack for theatre production ‘Ishmael’ which premiered at Brisbane Festival at QPAC.
