Baltimore Magazine review of 'Turning Tides'

[April, 2009]

“Blessed with a penchant for writing memorable melodies and openhearted lyrics that complement her full-throated vocals and acoustic strumming, this local singer/songwriter brings to mind Laura Nyro and Fiona Apple. Sahffi incorporates elements of blues, rock and classical music into her tunes and even dabbles in sonic experimentation on “Edification.” She’s a reminder that folk (the other four-letter f-word) isn’t so bad and it will be interesting to see how her particular brand of it evolves over time.”

This music is hard to describe, which is one reason I can appreciate it so much. It is sometimes bluesy, sometimes folksy, but gorgeous harmonies and arrangements are found throughout. Some songs are very artful and take more time to lock in to, but it’s worth it. Immediately appreciated tracks are “I’m Here,” “Run Away,” and “The Wondering.”
