Sunset Salore unleashes the brilliance of love as the inner demon slayer with her debut EP, “Love Kills The Monsters”
Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Sunset Salore steps into the spotlight as a noteworthy talent with the release of her highly anticipated debut EP, “Love Kills The Monsters.” This profoundly introspective seven-track odyssey brims with eclectic narratives centered around heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery, all cohesively interwoven through dynamic basslines, sultry rhythms, and an unmistakable Alternative Pop charm. From the initial note, Salore engages her audience in an intimate auditory adventure, peeling back the layers of personal demons and reflecting upon the trials of recent years with unfiltered authenticity.
The EP commences with its title track, “Love Kills The Monsters,” a euphoric exploration of love’s duality, encompassing its joyous aspects and darker nuances. Salore’s lyrics evoke an emotional tug-of-war, articulating the moments when love not only heals but manifests as a haunting force igniting them. It encapsulates the central thesis of the EP’s overarching notion that perhaps love has the potential to triumph over our deepest internal monsters. Her keen eye for life’s intricacies is evident, painting vivid portraits that resonate on multiple dimensions.
Subsequently, the second track, “Hope,” shifts gear in tone to provide an uplifting perspective, presenting a soul-filled anthem that wraps listeners in a sense of warmth and validation. This piece highlights Salore’s versatility while serving as a poignant reminder of the presence of light amid adversity. Tracks like “Call It“ deliver a compelling assertion of self-worth, capturing that defining moment when you recognize the necessity to exit a toxic relationship. With lyrics like “You just don’t seem to communicate” and “You shouldn’t have left me here,” Salore effectively conveys a potent dose of an alluring vibe on relatable themes grounded in authenticity, empowerment, and resilience.
The fourth track, “Feel,” continues to explore the therapeutic nature of music. Salore’s vocals harmonize beautifully with the rhythmic piano and a timeless fiery guitar, each note resonating sincerely.
“Mystery and Magic“ introduces another dimension to the EP with its upbeat approach to romance, reveling in the excitement of discovering someone new. Conversely, “Potential“ echoes a more confidential vibe, emphasizing inherent potentials unintentionally unleashed in tumultuous circumstances. The concluding seventh track, “Don’t Owe You Pretty,” acts as a powerful assertion of self-respect, highlighting Salore’s unwavering confidence while rejecting toxicity and reveling in resilience, thereby culminating the EP with an empowering sonic finish.
Produced by Spud Thompson and composed by Louise Acheson, “Love Kills The Monsters” is an exceptional debut that showcases Salore’s raw emotional honesty and talent for turning vulnerability into sonic strength as introspective as liberating. It reminds listeners that love, despite its complexities, may assist in confronting, slaying, and conquering their inner “monsters.” Sunset Salore’s masterful storytelling and musical artistry establish her as a vital new voice in pop, making this EP an essential listen for those seeking profoundly personal and universally relatable alternative pop music with substantial revelation.

Drawing inspiration from notable artists like Tove Lo, Kylie Minogue, and Troye Sivan, he creates a distinctive blend of vulnerability and optimism. His latest single exemplifies a personal journey, exploring the intricacies of navigating complex emotions within a fractured relationship. Here, San Sebastian takes us behind the scenes, providing insights into the creation of “Again and Again,” detailing the production choices that shape its emotional core and outlining his future aspirations.
Questionnaire
1. Who are the band members, if any, and were there any particular artists, genres, or band’s main influences?
San Sebastian: I’m a solo artist, though I often perform with professional dancers Alicia Gjerulf and Elsa Davidsson. My musical inspiration is drawn from renowned artists such as Tove Lo, Kylie Minogue, and Troye Sivan.
2. Where was the single recorded, and who was involved in its production? Name the record label, producer, and sound engineer who mixed and mastered the song.
San Sebastian: “Again and Again” was originally written by the well-known Swedish artist Darin Zanyar and songwriters Pär Westerlund along with Petter Tarland. I worked on re-creating the track with senior producer Johan Kronlund, who also produced my debut single, “Hear Me Out.” Both singles were released under the auspices of my record label, Metronica.
3. Regarding production, what aspects of “Again and Again” caught your attention? What were some of the critical production decisions that shaped the final sound, and how did they contribute to the overall sonic quality of the track?
San Sebastian: I collaborated with the producer, Johan Kronlund, for nearly 2 years, so we have developed a good understanding and shared vision for the desired sound we aim for in my music. The goal was to turn my flaws into something optimistic, capturing a sense of future possibility by blending a melancholy message with an upbeat, danceable rhythm.
4. What inspired you to write “Again and Again”? Was there a particular ethos, music style, or events that sparked the songwriting process for this single? Were there any collaborations on writing the lyrics?
San Sebastian: The song “Again and Again” was initially composed by the famous Swedish artist Darin Zanyar and his co-writers. I immediately liked the idea of the song’s core concept; its melodies and lyrics spoke to me. The producer and I reimagined the sound to make the song reflect entirely my unique artistic identity.
5. How did you aim to take listeners on an emotional journey with the message or lyrical narrative you are trying to convey through this song? What feelings do you hope to evoke through the music so far?
San Sebastian: I want my lyrics to be honest and resonate with many people’s feelings. I try to transform my flaws into something optimistic, showing that everything has a future. I hope that people, by listening to “Again and Again,” will find pieces of their own experiences within the song’s lyrics while still perceiving this growing hope through the positive upbeat and alongside the danceable energy inherent in the production.
6. Please briefly describe the song, the E.P./Album, and the thinking behind the Project. What does “Again and Again” mean to you personally? How does it reflect your growth as an artist?
San Sebastian: The song tells the story of a broken relationship, where one person is left behind, feeling shattered and powerless. Unable and unwilling to let go, they cling to the memories of a love that once felt real and the hope that they might reunite. Despite knowing they will get hurt again, the chance to feel happiness, even briefly, makes the pain seem worthwhile. By combining vulnerable lyrics, expressive melodies, and a more positive and hopeful production, the song illustrates those who put on a positive front and hide the absolute truth.
“Again and Again” represents my second single in collaboration with Metronica. I describe my musical style as danceable pop inspired by club music. Both my debut single, “Hear Me Out,” and my recent release, “Again and Again,” follow this musical direction. My active involvement in a DJ duo also keeps my heart closely connected to the club vibe, which naturally influences my music.
7. Do you have any favorable quotes from previous reviews or specific aspects, lines, and phrases of the song that you would happily share?
San Sebastian: My previous song and debut single, “Hear Me Out,” was recognized across various blogs internationally. The fact that it was so well received is heartwarming and makes me very happy. However, if I have to highlight one thing, it would be all the positive comments regarding my vocal abilities, specifically its range and how I deliver the songs.
8. Did “Again and Again” create any standout moments or surprises that made it a memorable atmosphere or mood for you? If so, what were your biggest challenges, and how would you describe them?
San Sebastian: A memorable highlight was our spontaneous release party, which drew almost 500 attendees. It was an incredibly heartwarming experience to see how all these people adjusted their schedules and re-booked engagements, altered travel plans, and other meetings to join. I will be eternally grateful for this display of support and gift of love.
9. How do you envision performing this song live? Are there any special events, musical tours, and performances that San Sebastian’s fans should expect soon or plan to incorporate?
San Sebastian: I have actually had the opportunity to perform “Again and Again” live on stage several times with two of my professional dancers, Alicia Gjerulf and Elsa Davidsson. I hope to present “Again and Again” on more stages in the future, incorporating additional live band support from professional musicians and dancers to create an immersive experience for audiences.
10. Is there a music video planned for this single? If so, can you share any insights into its concept? How does this single fit into your future musical plans? Is it part of a larger project, like an album or an E.P.?
San Sebastian: I’m not planning to create a full music video for “Again and Again.” However, I have already created teaser videos, which I use in the release marketing and the ongoing song promotion. I have no concrete plans to release an EP that includes “Again and Again.” Instead, I am focusing on my next single, which I plan to release in early 2025.
