Listen to "Glow" HERE Singer-songwriter/guitarist Brooke Annibale will release her third full-length album Hold To The Light on June 8th. The new record marks Annibale's return following her 2015 critically acclaimed album The Simple Fear and features several major departures in terms of both songwriting and production. Annibale sheds a few layers of her folk-acoustic skin and introduces a new indie-pop direction offering a fusion of textured electronic and traditional instrumentation centered around Brooke's stunning voice and keen, soulful lyricism. Today, she released her radiant new single "Glow," debuted yesterday by Billboard who called it "another musical sea change that's echoed throughout Hold To The Light." "I think the mission was just to try new things and see what could come of it," Annibale told Billboard. "I started writing ["Glow"] as a soft little just basic acoustic song. Then when [producer Sam Kassirer and I] started working on it together it totally evolved, but it still sort of maintained that identity of a summer, light feel. We just took it in a different direction." The songs on Hold To The Light develop like Polaroid photos: each reveals a memory suspended between the perspective of the past with all its wistfulness, pain, and joy, and the revelations of the present. Produced by Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive) at his Great North Sound Society in Maine, Hold To The Light features contributions from seasoned artists Zachariah Hickman (Ray Lamontagne, Josh Ritter) on bass; Josh Kaufman (The National, Josh Ritter) on accompanying guitars; Sean Trischka on drums; and Matt Douglas (Sylvan Esso, Mountain Goats) on woodwinds. Brooke's thoughtful, layered songwriting anchors the production to explore a range of narratives working through themes of seeking truths, letting go, and reconciling the past with the present.
Annibale's first single "Hold On" is also out now, described by Uproxx as "A dark and enigmatic taste of her new album."
