Welcoming the dawn of the new year, singer-songwriter Anna Krantz presents us with her latest single, 'The Gift', a poignant new release that artfully delves into the depths of self-discovery and the pursuit of happiness. Inspired by the profound wisdom of the late comedian Leslie Jordan, Krantz's latest release is more than just a song; it's a journey into the essence of joy.
Inspired by Jordan's philosophy that "happiness is a discipline or a choice," Krantz weaves a narrative of discipline, introspection, and the quest for inner contentment throughout her lyrics. Drawing from her personal experiences and reflections, Krantz takes us on a musical odyssey, exploring the idea that true happiness is cultivated from within.
Before his untimely passing, Leslie Jordan served as a beacon of light within Krantz's social circle. Unbeknownst to her, Jordan battled with his own demons of depression and addiction. His passing prompted Krantz to delve deeper into his life and philosophy. Inspired by Jordan's words - "Happiness is a choice. Happiness is a habit. And happiness is something you have to work hard at. It does not just happen." - Krantz found the backdrop and inspiration for 'The Gift'.
Musically, 'The Gift' draws inspiration from the ethereal sounds of Sara Bareilles' 'Satellite Call', infusing it with a soulful pop resonance reminiscent of Annie Lennox and Hozier. Channeling the cinematic grandeur, Krantz creates a sonic landscape that transcends the ordinary, inviting listeners into a world of wonder and introspection.
Having made her mark in the music industry through collaborations with global icons like Ed Sheeran, Mickey Guyton, and Sir Cliff Richard, Krantz's songwriting prowess has earned her acclaim and recognition. From humble beginnings recording in her parents' basement to sold-out performances at iconic venues like Joe's Pub in NYC, Krantz continues to captivate audiences with her raw talent and authentic storytelling.
As she prepares to release her upcoming EP, produced by Tim Ross (Cashy Bear), Krantz promises to enchant listeners with a blend of atmospheric and electronic elements, underscored by her signature singer-songwriter stamp. With each melody she crafts, Krantz leaves an indelible mark on our hearts, reminding us that true joy is not found in external circumstances but in the depths of our own souls.
