Step aside, mundane Mondays—Fairy Best Life is here to remind us all that we’re the heroes of our own stories. The New York-based enchanted R&B artist, Sabrina, has just released the mesmerizing music video for her single “Sonder”, and it’s nothing short of magical.
From the first frame, “Sonder” pulls you into a world where fantasy and reality intertwine. Directed by Max Richardson-Reitman, Sabrina’s longtime collaborator and spouse, the video is a visual feast. It follows her as she enters the lives of three extraordinary creatives—each embodying a different facet of enchantment, from Victorian elegance to whimsical shadow theater. The narrative crescendos with a stunning nod to Whitney Houston’s Fairy Godmother, reminding us that we hold the pen to our own fairytales.
Musically, “Sonder” blends lush R&B textures with a cinematic flair, creating an experience that feels as much like a spell as a song. It’s an anthem of self-authorship, empowerment, and magic made tangible—a call to embrace your own Main Character Energy. Sabrina’s vocals float and soar with confidence, leaving the listener both enchanted and inspired.
Beyond the song itself, Fairy Best Life is a force of creativity and purpose. Founder of Folklore Arts Embodiment (F.A.E.), mystical life coach, and immersive event producer, she weaves magic into everything she touches. With a track record that includes performances at Broadway, Radio City Music Hall, and The Apollo Theater, Sabrina is carving a unique path where music, empowerment, and wonder collide.
The “Sonder” music video is more than just a visual—it's an invitation. As Sabrina says, “You are the author, the muse, and the magic.” For anyone looking to reclaim their narrative, step into your power, or simply experience something breathtakingly beautiful, “Sonder” is not to be missed.

We got a chance to interview Fairy Best Life and ask her a few questions about 'Sonder'...
Living Lore comes to life in “Sonder” — if you had to describe the video in three magical words, what would they be, and why?
""Sonder" is made of nostalgia, cinemagic, and childhood dreams (not one word but still!). There are nostalgic millennial references throughout and the overall color scheme and vfx are all meant to give you permission to tap into that sense of wonder that likely came more easily in the past. Cinemagic is a phrase I created for the cinematic space of possibility that movies play in. It's in this space that life can be just as limitless if we intentionally shift our perspective on life to be one of meaning and creative inspiration. Childhood dreams are what I hope this music video reminds you of, because they hold the keys to your most fulfilling life. Each artist featured in the video is embodying some aspect of their childhood fantasies in their current reality and that is so empowering and inspiring."
The video features three incredible creatives and a nod to Whitney Houston’s Fairy Godmother—how did you decide on these elements, and what was it like bringing them into your own magical universe?
"It was important to feature the individuals who have helped me expand my understanding of what is possible when you live in your highest authenticity. I wanted the video to not only pay homage to these creative inspirations but show people a glimpse of what is possible! In the words of the iconic Whitney Houston Fairy Godmother, "Impossible things are happening everyday"."
You describe yourself as a mystical guide, life coach, and multi-hyphenate artist—how does your philosophy of self-authorship influence the music you create?
"I create music to act as sonic spells for empowerment and enchantment. By capturing these spiritual breakthroughs and reflections in song, they live on as a tool to shift your perspective and activate your own inner magic. These songs are reminders of what magic awaits when you take an active role in your own life."
For anyone who’s ready to embrace their Main Character Energy, what’s the first “spell” or action you recommend they take after watching the “Sonder” video?
"Reflect on your childhood dreams and see what aspects of them can be honored in the present. Your inner child holds the keys to your highest authenticity. If on a daily basis you could incorporate even a small nod to this inner child, you'll be on your way to living your most fulfilled life."
