Sara Tascha has built a reputation for making work that feels personal without being showy. Her new single, "Haunted," may be her most emotionally open release yet. The song is spoken word set to a sparse, haunting musical background. It makes Tascha less of a performer and more of a confessor, inviting the listener directly into the quiet aftermath of love that won't let go.
"Haunted" doesn't follow the usual song structure, and it reads like a private journal entry, showing how someone can still have power over your body, choices, and thoughts long after the relationship has ended. Tascha delivers her words with careful restraint, ensuring they don't overflow into drama. The tension is in what she doesn't say as much as what she does. It's like the emotional loop of knowing something is bad for you but still wanting it to be familiar. The production is still simple, which lets the spoken delivery take center stage. Subtle textures intermittently emerge, contributing to the sensation of emotional recurrence and unfulfilled longing. The pacing is slow enough to make you think but steady enough to show how hard it is to break old habits.
Tascha knows that being self-aware doesn't mean you're free right away. The song's real meaning is in that contradiction: wanting to move on but still feeling tied to the past. "Haunted" is a quiet but powerful song that shows that being open doesn't have to be loud to make a lasting impression. Sara Tascha keeps making room for stories that are emotionally smart, and this song stays with you long after the last words fade.
