I hadn’t known of Sara Sloan until I found myself with an email in my inbox from a video director named Myles, who had shot a music video for her new single, “Hunted.” The second I hit play, I was instantly hooked—its haunting and mysterious energy latched onto something deep inside of me and refused to let go. My first thought? "This is brat but for horsegirls." A cinematic fever dream where ghostly vocals float through the air, “Hunted” drags you into a darkly hypnotic world that feels both intimate and ominous.
Sara Sloan explores the uncharted territory of who she might become while purging the anger of falling prey to someone and mourning her abandoned self. The beginning of a longer narrative, the rupturing debut music video for “Hunted” follows Sara through eerie landscapes, her voice a siren call pulling us into her unraveling psyche. It’s an exploration of the self, an eerie descent into shadow and rebirth. While speaking to Sara, she described the horse in the video as a mirror of herself—wild yet burdened, searching for a way forward while carrying the weight of her past. It’s a symbol of her transformation, the fight for autonomy, and the raw, untamed emotion woven into the song.
The visuals are stunning in a way that makes you feel like you're watching a neo-gothic western unfold in real-time. A desolate landscape stretches infinitely around her, a perfect metaphor for the isolation that comes with self-reckoning. The cinematography is striking—dust-kissed horizons, raw emotion etched across her face, the kind of imagery that lingers in your mind long after the final frame. The chorus hits with a grand, sweeping intensity, swallowing you whole, and for a moment, you feel like you, too, are caught in this haunted, untamed dreamscape.
It’s refreshing to see a new artist dive headfirst into something so sonically and visually ambitious. “Hunted” feels like the opening chapter of a much bigger story—one that’s steeped in mystery, catharsis, and a relentless hunger for self-discovery. If this is Sara Sloan’s introduction, I can’t wait to see where the journey takes her next.
