Becca Mancari has debuted a brand new track, ‘Annie’.
It’s taken from a new EP, ‘Juniata’, which includes reimaginings of some of the songs from sophomore album ‘The Greatest Part’.
‘Annie’ is a totally fresh cut, though. “I grew up watching 1950’s and 60’s movies that my grandma would record for us because we didn’t have TV growing up,” she explains of the track. “The thing that I loved the most about these old films was the music… it was a time period where it felt almost appropriate to be a little dramatic in this lush orchestral fashion.
“So when I wrote ‘Annie’ I wanted to harken back to that time of feeling like you were swept up into a dance. Also, I wrote this song on the front porch where I started my other band Bermuda Triangle. We used to play it during our live set, where Brittany would rip this incredible solo on classical guitar. ‘Annie’ has definitely lived a few lives already, but it feels right that it would now be on this EP. It’s a little piece of coming back home.
The ‘Juanita’ EP is set for release on 19th March via Captured Tracks.
