WINNETKA BOWLING LEAGUE TEAMS UP WITH SASHA SLOAN FOR NEW SINGLE “barcelona”
LISTEN/ WATCH THE ANIMATED VIDEO HERE
Today, Winnetka Bowling League and Sasha Sloan release a new single accompanied by a lovely animated video for barcelona out now via RCA Records.
The track was produced by Winnetka frontman Matthew Koma, and co-written by Koma, Dan Book and Sasha Sloan. Wistful lyrics It doesn’t mean, it doesn’t mean that I loved you any less/Just cause we reached the end are surrounded by a dreamy, indie pop bouncing melodies, a signature sound that Koma and band excel at.
Matthew Koma of Winnetka Bowling League offers barcelona is a song about still being able to have love for the person that it didn’t work out with. I always feel the urge to discredit every ounce of a relationship after it’s over because it feels way better than scrolling the highlight feed…but sometimes there was a lot of good worth recognizing & the ending doesn’t have to be this big dramatic ‘delete all.’ I had a super rough voice note of the chorus on it, and I sent it to Sasha. She told me to finish it, and when I did, she was sweet enough to lend her voice to it.
Sasha Sloan continues Winnetka Bowling League opened for me on tour (before Covid and the world fell apart). Matt and I hit it off on the road and we’ve kept in touch ever since. When he sent me ‘barcelona,’ I fell in love with it and wanted to jump on the track!
barcelona is the first single from Winnetka Bowling League’s forthcoming EP and follows their 2020 critically-acclaimed Congratulations.

About Sasha Sloan
After emerging late 2017 and appearing on a handful of high-profile collaborations, 26-year-old singer/songwriter Sasha Sloan released her debut single Ready Yet. Since then, she has established herself as a true wordsmith, an artist’s artist, who crafts potent melodies filled with poignant lyrics. As a songwriter Sasha has amassed over 3.6 billion streams by penning hits for some of today’s biggest artists. In 2018 Sasha released her first two EPs, Sad Girl and Loser. Her track Normal was heralded by Billboard as a catchy introvert anthem. These emotionally-rich, left-of-center pop releases lead to her late night debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2019 with a performance of Older. That year, Sasha completed her first North American and European headline tours (sold out) and released her 3rd and final EP Self Portrait, which had her single Dancing With Your Ghost as Idolator’s 6th 75 Best Pop Songs Of 2019. She also scored a #1 on the Dance Chart for I’ll Wait, her collaboration with Kygo. Sloan’s critically acclaimed debut album Only Child was released in late 2020. Sasha recently released her first taste of new music in 2021 with when was it over? featuring Sam Hunt.
