The song is a set to music of an older text from 1986, which is a reaction to the attitudes of the government at the time towards the music group The V.I.P, after the singer's half-brother of German origin emigrated to his father in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1985. The current musical form of the composition was not created until 2024 at First Floor Studios. Singer Nicol sang the second vocal. The keyboard instruments were recorded by the musician Robert Jisa. Now out on the Downson Airplane album.

New song "What Can I Do" out now! #nowstreaming

Marcos Carnaval - What Can I Do (Original Mix)

This is a "pirate collab"... I wrote a song and was listening to the original track, 'What can I do' by Saturna and CØNTRA and jammed bits of my song with it an found that they were harmonically sympatico and had the same kind of basement flooding quality..  Then I heard the Abstrakt Sonance flip of the song and found that my song fit perfectly so I brazenly asked for permission to post it  so is it this. Big ups to Abstrakt Sonance and Saturna and CØNTRA, whose original version indeed slaps.

"Sarah McDonald effortlessly segues from applying a dash of tropical swelter to thirties standards, tinkering with Thelonius Monk torch songs to a soul jazz rendition of an Amy Winehouse classic." 

Joel Shortman, Rathdowne Records.

"..deceptively laid back and self-assured, with an undercurrent of emotions waiting to sweep you by. When she sings “Rusted brandy in a diamond glass”, it’s the rust she focuses on, not the diamond. Tom Waits would approve...

..There’s a lot of nostalgic glamour associated with the ’20s and ’30’s era. Singers who choose to sing this material often end up as replicas of the sultry divas of the past, dressing up in satin gowns and pearls and stale femininity. Not Sarah McDonald. She approaches her material with a tomboyish attitude, phrasing the classic jazz and obscure torch songs that comprise her set list with a punk sensitivity and a kind of modern-day angst delivered by this beautiful, soulful chili-infused chocolate voice of hers. When she opens her mouth, she showers her audience with raw emotion. No pretense, no polished femininity, no nonsense. It helps that she’s sexy as hell when she does it; and that she’s surrounded by a killer band: Ron Romero on tenor sax, Kumar Shome on guitar, Ben Hanlon on the bass and Lewis Pierre-Humbert on the drums. As these musicians spew fire from their instruments, people get up and dance to her singing, even if she sings Monk’s “I mean you” (not the most danceable song out there)."

Nikos Fotakis, australianjazz.net

Sarah McDonald evokes cool smoky jazz club atmosphere with expressive melifluous phrasing contrasting with rhythmic dexterity.  She is a singer who has been as influenced by horn players and drummers as she has by the great vocalists. Having delved deeply into music, she draws from the greats of the history of jazz, blues and soul and selects choice standards, along with original, contemporary and more esoteric repertoire that she infuses with a soulful authenticity.

She has had a wealth of experience performing original music in various guises, playing in a range of contemporary original bands, world music ensembles and playing music for circus, theatre and film.

She also plays flute and sings in Tarab Ensemble, playing classical Arabic music:
