Saskia Griffiths-Moore’s “Matter Of Pride” surprises as a track where everything clicks in a completely new way. The folk storyteller we’ve come to know just plugged into an amplifier and discovered she’s got some serious blues chops hiding under all those acoustic guitars.

The transformation is immediate and striking here and from the first few bars, you can tell Saskia isn’t tiptoeing into this new territory. She’s diving headfirst into a grittier sound that still feels authentically her. That storytelling foundation remains rock solid, but now it’s wrapped in rhythms that make you want to move your body while you listen.

Saskia’s voice adapts to the blues framework without losing any of its character. Moreover, she’s not trying to become someone else; she’s just exploring different rooms in the same house. The vocal delivery carries a new confidence and it suggests she’s been sitting on these songs for a while, waiting for the right moment to unleash them.

The production strikes a perfect balance between polished and raw. Every guitar lick in the song has bite and the rhythm section drives everything forward with purpose, and Saskia’s vocals cut through the mix with clarity and power. It’s the kind of sound that works just as well blasting through car speakers or filling up a sweaty club.

This single positions Saskia as an artist worth following rather than just checking in on occasionally. She’s proven she can evolve without abandoning what makes her special. “Matter Of Pride” announces that Saskia Griffiths-Moore is just getting started, and that’s exciting news for everyone who loves music that takes chances.
