In celebration of Women’s History Month, singer-songwriter Sarah Bernstein has released her latest single, “A Woman Like Me,” a poignant ode to self-reflection and empowerment.

Characterized by raw vocals and tender lyricism, her new single delves deep into personal introspection and growth and is available on all streaming services.

Reflecting on the genesis of the song, she recalls, “I wrote ‘A Woman Like Me’ weeping at my coffee table in my old apartment. At its core, it’s a self-reflective song about identifying yourself as the problem. And at the time, it was the most honest I’d ever been with myself in writing.”

Despite initial reservations about sharing such a raw piece of her soul, Bernstein’s journey with “A Woman Like Me” has been one of remarkable evolution and connection. “Fast-forward five years later, and it’s my absolute favorite song to perform live,” she shares. “The way people have connected with it, and shared how they relate, made it into something so much more powerful.”

“A Woman Like Me” was written and performed by Sarah Bernstein, produced by Sarah Bernstein and Shane Adams, mixed by Kenny Varga, mastered by Alex Dobbert at TrueEast Mastering, recorded at Coop DeVille Studio in Nashville, and features drums by Wes Little, bass by Luis Espaillat, guitar by Justin Ostrander, and piano by Shane Adams.

As listeners immerse themselves in the melodic depths of “A Woman Like Me,” they are invited on a journey of introspection, empowerment, and unabashed vulnerability—a testament to Bernstein’s unwavering authenticity.

About Sarah Bernstein

Sarah Bernstein is a German-American Singer/Songwriter. After recording her EP Man in the Moon in Germany at 17 and publishing her music across streaming platforms, her original song ‘Boomerang’ went on to be a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. After initially attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, she transferred to Fordham University where she found home in New York City. Her self-produced EP Spellbound is an ode to her time here, now approaching a decade.

During the pandemic Sarah’s focus shifted from the stage back to songwriting and the studio. After returning to Berklee through their online certificate program, she was introduced to her mentor and producer Shane. In November 2020 she traveled to Nashville for the first time. Her song ‘Till 3am’ was the first of five singles recorded there as she evolved her sound over the next three years. In July 2022, her single ‘Maxine’ debuted on German radio as part of Bayern 3’s Newcomer contest.
In 2023, Bernstein was thrilled to return to the stage and performed six solo shows beginning at The Mint in Los Angeles. She also crossed several iconic New York City venues off her bucket list, making her debut at Rockwood Music Hall and the legendary Bitter End (…twice) later that year.

I fell in love with music when I first picked up a guitar at age 8. When I played, my friends and family would smile and spill with joy over the music I played, even though it was never Grammy quality. While my music career never made it past high school, my love for music never waivered. I loved the feeling of bringing a smile to someone's face through music and wanted to keep that passion going. So, I took it upon myself to continue to support and promote artists by writing about their music. This way, I can support my personal passion for music and bring entertain and joy to others through music.  Outside my love for music, I do enjoy a good hike and being in the outdoors. My favorite place that I've hiked is in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. I love to travel too. I've been to Costa Rica, Vancouver, BC, and England, but the best place by far is Germany on Oktoberfest. I liken that experience to being in New Orleans on Mardi Gras. I like a good book now and then, but I'm more of a streaming fiend. I live for crime docuseries on Netflix, veterinary shows on National Geographic, and re-watching Scrubs on Hulu.
