Sarah Jaffe started work on The Body Wins the day she bought a bass and a drum set at a pawnshop. That day. She wrote the rhythmic “A Sucker For Your Marketing,” and her second full-length began to take shape. It had been building up inside her; she just didn’t have an outlet. Jaffe had been writing songs on her acoustic guitar since she was a teenager. She knew everything she could do on it, and everything she couldn’t do. It wasn’t a creative tool for her anymore. Jaffe had pent-up creative energy inside her, after spending most of the year traveling and touring behind her debut (Suburban Nature), seeing and feeling things, soaking up the world. There’s a side to Jaffe that didn’t exist on Suburban Nature, the part of her that liked to dance and listen to hip-hop and cover songs live. That’s not to say The Body Wins is a party record. It isn’t. But it has a pulse to it, more than a heartbeat, not quite a breakbeat. “Glorified High,” the first single, perfectly captures that, the energy she’d built up and the energy that had always been there, with a chorus that smacks you in the chest and lingers like a hug. The Body Wins may sound different to those introduced to Jaffe through Suburban Nature. It should. But it’s not by any grand design to change. It’s where she’s at now, a product of everywhere she’s been since Suburban Nature—literally and figuratively—and a hint of everywhere she might go from here.
