“Stars” is another recently dropped single, this one from New York based Alexandra Antonpoulos – better known by her stage moniker of Honeycrush. This is released in support of her upcoming EP, Milk Teeth, due out October 17.
The gently strummed guitar stays just beneath the surface of the song, giving room for Antonpoulos’ wry vocals to shine, evoking similarities to to Fiona Apple or a stripped down boygenius.
The emotional kick is tempered a bit by the quieter vocals, but that approach still hits hard. Speaking to the track, Antonpoulos had this to say:
“When I was writing Stars, I was dealing with a months long episode of severe anxiety which left me feeling completely detached from my physical self. It also recalls a very late, very hazy night I found myself by the Hudson River in some park where I was definitely not supposed to be in the state I was.”
