You & I Are Earth

Description

Bridging music and literature, building a bridge between the written and the sung, only the greatest have managed to do so in the past. Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker, and Patti Smith are just a few of the bright stars toward which Anna B. Savage gravitated in her adolescence. Born on the anniversary of Bach's death, the young musician spent each year's birthday in the green room of the Royal Albert Hall watching her parents perform compositions by the great master. This shaped her. Today, thanks to albums such as her debut, "A Common Turn" (2021), and the incredibly sensual art-pop opus "in|FLUX" (2023), the singer-songwriter is one of the truly exceptional talents on the British independent scene. In her music, otherworldly voices nestle against chamber orchestral compositions, delicate arrangements rise and soar, and the musician's highly eclectic sound develops song after song into an experience that lingers for days and weeks. An experience that can be life-changing. The sense of rootedness is at the heart of Anna B. Savage's third album, You and i are Earth, a record that deals as much with healing as with an unwavering sense of curiosity and, more simply, a "love letter to a man and to Ireland." After A Common Turn and in|FLUX, two critically acclaimed albums, You and i are Earth manages to convey a feeling of intimacy while remaining open. Tenderness is a touchstone as radiant as the earth, which Savage attributes to where she is.
