With elements of pop, jazz and film soundtracks Canadian singer songwriter Allyson Whitmell releases her first UK single on EMU.
Training in piano and composition Whitness is currently completing a Master’s degree in Applied Music and Health at the University of Toronto.
Her debut celebrates her intimate yet powerful voice, her beautiful piano arrangement and an emphasis on capturing vivid moments in time.
The singer songwriter says: “That moment in time when you say goodbye to a place close to your heart is what I set out to capture in Crack in my Window. The nostalgia, the grief, the gratitude. They say it’s the little things that really get you – I had a window where I once lived that was nearly impossible to close all the way, and I wrote this song thinking about how something so small and seemingly insignificant could be so missed.
“In order to create a yearning, nostalgic quality, I wanted to feature strings with an emphasis on solo violin alongside my piano arrangement. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jono Hill of Bridgerton fame to capture this feeling, and Ben Pelchat brought it home with fantastic production and sound design. My hope is that this song resonates with anyone who has been or is currently in the process of moving on from something, someplace, or even someone.”
