Montreal singer-songwriter Chiara Savasta brought her dreamy, reflective pop sound to the Colliding Tides Main Stage on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025, closing out the final day of Sommo Festival in Cavendish.
Savasta, who grew up in the suburbs of Montreal, has built a reputation for her emotionally resonant songwriting and unfiltered portrayal of early adulthood. Her lyrics often explore the tension between anxiety and hope — a theme rooted in her own experience of navigating a generation marked by uncertainty.
Following her set, Savasta sat down with SWOMP for an interview to talk about her music and evolution as an artist.
Her first project, Summerhood, released in 2022, served as her take on the coming-of-age experience — a reflection of youth, longing and the early steps into adulthood.
Her latest project, brand new girl, brand new machine, captures the universal feeling of experiencing everything all at once in our early twenties. The record reveals a more grounded and mature artist, gradually finding her footing in the world.
Through those ups and downs — always chasing the next dream — Savasta has emerged as a distinct voice in the Canadian indie pop scene, offering songs that resonate with anyone learning to navigate change. Her closing performance at Sommo Festival felt like the culmination of that journey: honest, emotional, and alive with possibility.
