Anna Prior has shared her scintillating new single 'Easier Alone'.
The digi-pop burner finds the musician – who also doubles as drummer in Metronomy – going it alone, a personal vision from the potent songwriter.
We're hearing shades of PC Music in its decontextualisation of Millennial gloss, but there's a little more heart and soul in Anna Prior's work.
A song about farewells, 'Easier Alone' finds Anna Prior moving beyond relationships, and asserting her own worth as an individual.
The production incorporates club elements – Anna is also a sought-after DJ – while rising to a euphoric finale.
""Easier Alone is a song about letting good things go," explains Anna. "It's about all those healthy friendships, relationships, situationships that just become stifled under the weight of the expectation we place on ourselves. The relationships that you know would be nourishing and supportive, if only you could let someone love you without your own limits."
“It's true though, most things ARE easier on your own. Except moving house, tug-o-war and writing a song, at least in my case. I loved working with Jules Rosset again on this track – he helped me steer the music in a much more interesting direction (the song was called ‘piano thing’ for months before that) and most importantly, always responded to my maniacally composed emails of ideas within five minutes of me sending them – a perfect match for the over thinker.”
Tune in now.
