Montreal-based urban pop singer-songwriter Sara Sue Vallee returns with a haunting new single, “Pretty Little Sad Thing”, available on all major streaming platforms. Serving as the latest glimpse into her forthcoming EP Snakes in Paradise (2026), the track is a breakup anthem steeped in melancholy elegance—capturing the painful loop of emotional stasis and the quiet devastation of growing apart.
Following the release of her debut EP Skin & Bones, Vallee continues to solidify her place as an artist to watch. With her cinematic songwriting and raw emotional honesty, she draws inspiration from artists like Lana Del Rey, Ralphie Choo, Gracie Abrams, and Judeline.
