The quality of a truly exceptional song lies within its intricate details. Brittain Ashford, the talented artist hailing from Brooklyn, showcases her remarkable attention to detail in her latest single and mesmerizing music video, Hand Wringing/In The Wings. This indie folk gem amplifies the essence of melancholy as its primary emotion, but it is Brittain’s captivating vocal performance and heartfelt expression that truly transforms this song into an emotional whirlpool. Without resorting to vocal extremes or grand crescendos, Brittain’s delivery remains understated yet profoundly moving, aided by the excellent arrangement and the gradual augmentation of the sound with delicate strings and horns. The sheer beauty of this track is complemented by an enchanting music video, skillfully directed by Kelly Mena and choreographed by Reed Laplau and Justice Moore.
Mark your calendars for the awaited release of Brittain Ashford’s album, Trotter, due out May 19th via Misra Records.
