On Ancient Forward, positivity and affirmations sit organically beside the serious.

It is an album that flows and ebbs in a dynamic, colourful style that SARITAH has cemented as her own. An accomplished recording, it confirms SARITAH as one of Australia’s most talented and exciting artists, with something to say.
