My new single “Gaslight” is now officially out! It was cathartic for me to write this song – about my personal experience all these years navigating my way inside a male dominated music industry. Recorded and co-produced with John Askew, the track centers around piano and voice with backing vocals from Tarshene Watkins and Jeannie Wiggins, my long ago bandmates from Motown funk supergroup Body and Soul. Featuring my acoustic quartet including Jenny Conlee (Decemberists) on accordion, Keith Brush on upright bass and Ji Tanzer (Blue Cranes) on drums and percussion plus a stunning woodwind and horn arrangement by world renowned composer Kelly Pratt (Arcade Fire, Coldplay).
Here’s a link to the song on bandcamp!
Gaslight
——————-
And you spin me like a DJ
Dizzy lights of a carni-ride
But I’m all right
It’s a clean sweep of the rug beneath me
And I’m taking flight
I’m taking flight
Put on your gaslight
And say that you can’t see
The hole in my blindside
The size of an anvil in me
Every word that you twisted
Like the ribbon of a bowtie so you could be right
So be right
In the mirror do you spin like a DJ
What you can’t deny to your naked eye
Your naked eye
Put on your gaslight
And say that you can’t see
The hole in my blindside
The size of an anvil in me
You took more than I gave away for free
And you spin me like a DJ
Dizzy lights of a carni-ride
But I’m all right
You convince me to be grateful
Like I’m one inch high you dangle the line
But I won’t bite
Put on your gaslight
And say that you can’t see
The hole in my blindside
The size of an anvil in me
Put on your gaslight
And say that you can’t see
The hole in my blindside
The size of an anvil in me
And you took more than I gave and
Played it like you saved me
And every track you covered clean
And you spin me like a DJ
The dizzy lights of a carni-ride
But I’m all right
