Amy Millan Shares Make Way for Waves

After announcing a new record, Amy Millan is swinging for the fences, and she’s two for two on the singles, in my eyes at least. I found this tune quite stellar, and for once, it had less to do with Amy’s voice (which is still powerful), but more with the creative arrangement that works beneath the song. Sharp beats mix with piano notes and ebbing bits of bass guitar, waiting for the beat to thicken and the chorus to set off. Millan claims the song was pulled from a lost Stars demo, then handed over to songwriting partner Jay McCaroll, culminating in this tune. The hand drawn video was created by artist Gaia Alari, perfectly capturing the calmed nature of this tune. Amy will release I Went to Find You on May 30th.
