South London singer-songwriter Sasha Keable brought her signature blend of grit and grace to the stage of Saturday Night Live UK last night (October 10). Serving as the musical guest for the fourth episode of the show's second series, hosted by Danny Dyer, Keable delivered a compelling performance that highlighted her status as one of the UK's most exciting emerging voices.
Keable opened her set with her recently released single, 'Options'. The soulful R&B track, which arrived earlier this month, explores the complexities of intimacy following a breakup. Speaking on the track's creation, Keable shared: “When I walked into the studio Eddie had already been working on the melody. I started singing back to him the first thing that came into my head: ‘breakup sex’ – and that became the lyric, I was like, right, that’s what we’re talking about.”
In addition to 'Options', Keable performed 'Why', a track originally released in 2024 and featured on her acclaimed 2025 EP, Act Right. The performance underscored the artistic growth that has seen her earn a nomination for Best R&B Act at this year’s BRIT Awards and a spot on NME’s list of 100 essential emerging artists for 2026.
Keable’s recent momentum includes touring with GIVĒON, supporting Olivia Dean in Dublin, and performing at the Roots Picnic festivals in London and Philadelphia. Fans can look forward to seeing her next at the special 20th-anniversary celebration of Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black at London’s Roundhouse on October 21, where she will join a star-studded lineup including Jorja Smith, FLO, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Lianne La Havas.
Saturday Night Live UK continues its second series next Saturday (October 17) with host James Norton and musical guests The Streets.
