Folk-pop artist Abby Sage has introduced a fresh perspective on personal growth and transformation with her debut album, The Rot. Released in March through Nettwerk, the album intertwines hauntingly beautiful melodies with raw, evocative lyrics that explore themes of loneliness, change, and sexual awakening.

Sage’s music captures a romanticized decay, conjuring vivid imagery that feels both tender and unsettling. On tracks like “Milk,” her breezy tone contrasts with defiant lyrics such as “I wanna drink my milk in my own filth,” creating a blend of sweetness and rebellion. Meanwhile, “Hunger” explores the visceral emotions of first sexual experiences, and the title track, “The Rot,” encourages listeners to “lean into the rot” and embrace decomposition as a path to renewal.

The album coincides with the cultural phenomenon of “bed rotting,” a TikTok trend symbolizing indulgent inactivity and restoration. Sage leans into this duality, crafting a sonic journey that feels both indulgent and transformative.

Her ethereal voice imbues the album with a magnetic energy, making even the imagery of decay feel strangely empowering. The Rot positions Sage as a compelling voice in the folk-pop genre, inviting listeners to embrace the beauty in life’s darker, messier moments.
