Bec Sandridge

“If Shania Twain + Daft Punk met at an 80s aerobics class, sweatily hooked up and had a gaybaby… she would be named ‘Cost of Love’,” shares Bec Sandridge on her latest single. Driven by shuffling drums and hooky guitars reminiscent of the late 70s and laden with Sandridge’s unmistakable voice, ‘Cost Of Love’ is without question, a testament to Sandridge’s ability towrite a sophisticated and unforgettable pop-banger.

2023 sees Sandridge independently release an EP of tracks titled Lost Dog featuring singles‘Cost of Love’ and the synth driven single ‘The Jetty’ featuring Andy Bull. The EP sawSandridge work with songwriter and producer Dave Jenkins Jr (Daniel Johns, Vera Blue),Lucy Taylor (Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding), Gab Strum (Japanese Wallpaper), Grammy-nominate dengineer Geoff Swan (Charlie XCX, Haim) and Tony Buchen (Montaigne).

This is the first release since her acclaimed debut album ‘TRY + SAVE ME’ in 2019 which sawSandridge deep dive into topics of identity, anxiety, coming out, and takes a tongue in cheeklook at her upbringing in a pentecostal Christian household. TRY + SAVE ME features singles ‘ANIMAL’, ‘I’LL NEVER WANT A BF’, ‘EYES WIDE’ and‘STRANGER ’, all of which were added to Triple J (AU) & Flux FM (GERMANY)
rotation andsupported at community radio nationally.
