Annie Dressner, a seasoned New York songwriter with a remarkable career spanning over a decade, has graced our ears once again with her latest single, “Black and White”. Since her debut album, Strangers Who Knew Each Other’s Names, in 2011, Annie has been weaving tales of human connection and emotion, earning her a devoted following in the UK and beyond.
Her songwriting skills are evident in her ability to craft narratives that resonate with listeners, enveloped in enchanting melodies that penetrate the soul. “Black an White” is no exception, as it delves into the complex tapestry of a relationship’s history, rekindling emotions that time may have buried.
On the song, Annie says,
“I wrote this song after an encounter with an ex that I had not seen in a decade. It was almost as if no time had passed. I always felt really sad that he would no longer be in my life as he meant a lot to me as a friend, and I often thought that ‘the thing that made me the saddest is I wanted to know you…’.”
With “Black an White”, Annie has yet again woven another connection. In every note and lyric, she paints a vivid story with beautiful delicate strokes that leave marks on the ears and perhaps even the hearts of those that listen.
It’s safe to say that Annie Dressner’s signature storytelling and evocative melodies will continue to enchant and move.
