Every so often, a debut comes along that feels less like a first step and more like an arrival. “Deep End” by 16-year-old Hamburg artist Sabrina Nejmah is exactly that—a confident, soulful introduction that’s as heartfelt as it is polished.
The track glides in with warm, jazz-inspired chord progressions, courtesy of her father, Norman Astor, whose background as a jazz bassist adds a rich musical depth. But it’s Sabrina’s voice that commands attention—smooth yet tinged with quiet strength, it carries the bittersweet story of breaking free from a shallow relationship and a monotonous routine. She’s not just singing about leaving something behind; she’s reaching for a life that feels real, meaningful, and vivid. There’s a certain timelessness in “Deep End.” You can hear echoes of Norah Jones’ smoky elegance, Amy Winehouse’s soulful phrasing, and the intimate honesty of modern voices like Billie Eilish and Gracie Abrams. The production by Markus Norwin Rummel is understated in the best way—letting Sabrina’s vocals breathe while surrounding them with a gentle, atmospheric warmth.
What makes this song stand out is its sincerity. It’s not overcomplicated, nor is it chasing trends. Instead, it offers a space for the listener to reflect, to feel, and maybe even to gather the courage to step away from something unfulfilling. That maturity is striking, especially from such a young artist. If “Deep End” is the starting point of Sabrina Nejmah’s musical journey, then it’s safe to say she’s diving in with both grace and conviction. This is music for quiet evenings, for moments of decision, and for anyone longing for something deeper than the surface.
