Justin Sabo comes to us with the soft whisper of consolation in his latest offering, “You Are Not Alone in This Fight.” Embedded within his latest album, “Save Me,” the song is a raw and comforting reminder that no one has to journey alone.
Carving a lane in the intersection of country, folk, and acoustic storytelling, Sabo continues to solidify why he has emerged as one of the voices in soul-centered American music. While he does not sing or play an instrument himself, his lyrics are the pulse of each song he writes, and they’re developed with the subdued wisdom of a person who has survived harsh winters in North Dakota, imagining tales into the silence.
“You Are Not Alone in This Fight” is a handwritten note from a friend who gets it. Nothing here that smacks of overproduction, of artifice. It’s a record of warm acoustic textures and a hushed emotional landscape that beckons you to pause, take a breath, and feel seen.
Sabo is offering a rare sort of musical presence that sits with you in darkness instead of immediately trying to tug you out. It’s an homage to internal struggles, spiritual, emotional, deeply personal, if imperceptibly so, as well as a sonic reminder to ourselves and each other that while the battle may be real, the solitude doesn’t have to be.
This single contributes to supporting his album’s goal of providing healing and hope. He doesn’t talk into a microphone himself, but the songs he writes not only sing, they speak, soothe, and heal. For fans of country, folk, and quiet, introspective acoustic music, “You Are Not Alone in This Fight” is a must-hear moment of silent grace in a noisy world.
