Sarah Jaffe (born January 29, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter from Denton, Texas.
Jaffe was born in Angelina, Texas to parents Roger Jaffe and Malea Jackson.
Jaffe self-released her first EP titled Even Born Again, which was recognized by Rolling Stone and the Dallas Observer. In late 2009, she was signed to Kirtland Records and released her first full-length album, Suburban Nature, in May 2010. She has previously toured with Lou Barlow, Norah Jones, Blitzen Trapper and Chelsea Wolfe, as well as fellow bands Midlake, Old 97's and Centro-matic.
In 2011, she released The Way Sound Leaves a Room, which was touted as an EP that included a DVD of her performance at Wyly Theatre in Dallas that February. This release included a cover of a Drake song: "Shut it Down". It was with this release that she started moving away from an acoustic folk sound to a more orchestral indie rock sound, but it was only a hint at what was to come.
In 2012, she opened on the New Multitudes Tour where she introduced fans to songs from her upcoming album. On April 21, she released her latest LP: The Body Wins, produced by John Congleton. On December 11, 2012, she performed "Talk", a single from that album, on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Jaffe sings a cover of PJ Harvey's "Down by the Water" on 2013 recording with The Toadies, an alternative rock band from Fort Worth, Texas.
In 2013, she featured uncredited vocals on Eminem's song "Bad Guy" off his album The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
