🎧 About the Song
Originally composed in 2020 with just two bass lines and two vocal lines, it marks Sandra’s first song ever written on the bass guitar. Though born from the ashes of a collapsing romantic relationship, the song evolved into something much deeper during the recording process—as Sandra found herself navigating her mother’s rapid cognitive and physical decline, and her father’s heartbreak after nearly 50 years of partnership.
In Sandra’s words:
“This song was first about love turned sour. But while recording it, it became about so much more—about helplessness, loss, and the quiet crumbling of everything familiar.”
Recording was paused for a month as her mother was hospitalized, now awaiting a vacancy in a care home due to the progression of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that left her almost entirely disconnected from herself. In that space of fragmentation, “Eventuality” became a vessel to process what could not be spoken.

🎨 About the Artwork
The cover art for Eventuality was, once again, hand-painted by Sandra. On the surface, it may seem simple—but like the song, it invites deeper contemplation.
A broken vase, wilted flowers, a splash of blood, water on the table—each element holds symbolic weight. With a more realistic yet haunting tone, the painting reflects the feeling of something beautiful unraveling quietly in front of your eyes. It mirrors both her deteriorating romantic relationship and the slow, painful loss of her mother’s essence.
“The details are subtle but loaded. It’s like life itself—on the outside, you keep it together. But inside, things are quietly collapsing.”
🎬 About the Video
The music video for Eventuality is Sandra’s most visually stark work to date. Alone in black clothing, against a black background, she performs alongside multiple versions of herself, illuminated only by an eerie aquamarine glow—the same hue as the song title on the cover.
This color holds deeper meaning: it represents the throat and heart chakras, symbolizing Sandra’s emergence from silence—finally speaking from the heart rather than the mind.
The result is raw and visceral. A dark landscape of self-reflection, vulnerability, and the first steps toward healing.
“This was the first song where I felt I was truly singing from my heart. The video captures that tension between wanting to speak and being afraid to feel.”

Previous Mentions
“It is perhaps for me, the most beautiful artistic surprise, in this pandemic maras, which deprived us of concerts for more than a year. In 45 years of music journalism, I had never met an instrumentally self-taught young woman, as SANDRA BULLET. A bit in the tracks of Paul McCartney, in his post-Beatles era. Born in Setúbal but established in Coimbra, she’s a Portuguese alternative rock singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist with an indie twist and an old school sound.” – José Oliveira
“Overall, this was a really fun album to listen to. I had never heard of Sandra before and I feel I have been missing out. Her sound has me really nostalgic for 90’s and early 00’s music but made in a way I can relate to in 2021. I also think it’s important to note how the industry tries to age women really fast and even though she’s still young she’s breaking that “norm.” She emphasizes the fact that it’s never too late to go after your dreams. This is a great way to look at life and really drew me to her as an artist. I am so excited to see where her career goes from here.” – Sydney Blasi
