Sahara Smith (born September 26, 1988) is an American singer-songwriter who released her debut album in 2010.

Producer T-Bone Burnett noticed Smith and took her into the studio to record her debut album, Myth of the Heart, which was released in 2010 and described as a "hybrid of folk, Americana, country and bluegrass".

[8] Smith says her musical influences include Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.

[10] A Los Angeles Times music reviewer said "Smith creates Cinemascope-like wide-screen portraits of romantic passion, loneliness and unrequited love in her richly impressive, intensely soulful debut album.

"[11] Other reviewers mention her "smoky voice, bluesy folk sound"[12] that "invokes lazy summer nights and sweaty slow dancing".
