This Sasha (Sascha) is not new. His first album came out in 1998 on Warner Bros records...

If people don't do their research when deciding to buy an album...like actually listening to tracks first, then that's their problem.

Who would ever think that with the 6 billion people in the world, there'd be more than one music artist with the same name.

Honestly, this guy has a bigger right to use Sasha than the Sasha we love does. Because at least it's close to his actual name. Although Sasha somehow came from the name Alexander (or should I say, Aleksandr or Aleksandra) :P

Sasha (Alexander Coe) had recordings out as Sasha prior to '98.

If you mean Mr Coe, he's had two Top 20s in the singles chart- Higher Ground and Be As One, as well as two Top 40s- Scorchio and Magic. Xpander was too long to be counted as a single, and so entered the UK album chart at 18, a very impressive achievement as albums outsell singles by miles. Airdrawndagger was also a Top 20 album.
