Sadie Miller: 'Superstar' Takes the Strut

Every young artist writes the fame song eventually. Sadie Miller got hers out of the way early and made it a good one. "Superstar," her 2026 single, is a sassy, slightly condescending look at self-obsession, built to be fun and energetic live, with something more vulnerable running underneath: in her own framing, the song treats vulnerability as a strength rather than a flaw. The production stays in her signature register, soft and spacey, ambient pop with the edges left glowing.

Miller is a Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer from Santa Monica who has been producing her own music since middle school, layering keyboards, pads, and synths under her voice. The catalog is deeper than the new single suggests: a debut single, "Yours," in 2018, the album Internet in 2022, the Archives EP in 2023, and last year's single "August," which drew coverage for its vulnerable production. "Friends," one of her earlier singles, passed 60,000 streams with Spotify editorial support.

The live side is building too, with Los Angeles rooms like Hotel Cafe and The Viper Room on her recent calendar, and "Superstar" was plainly written with those stages in mind, the most extroverted thing in a catalog that usually whispers. An ambient pop artist making her fame song a wink rather than a wish is a good sign. The whisper will be back; for now, enjoy the strut.

Start here: "Superstar" for the strut, "August" for the whisper, and Internet for the album-length version of her world.
