Montreal-based singer-songwriter Annabel Gutherz has shared a new single, the sonorous and hypnotic ”Dance Around It,” a track that deftly straddles classic rock nostalgia and modern pop sensibilities. Annabel beckons listeners into a whirl of feeling in every note, where love’s ephemeral alchemy collides with the soft heft of uncertainty.
“Dance Around It” has an enveloping sonic feel from the opening chord, combining richly arranged instrumentation with Annabel’s heart-grabbing vocals. It was co-written with industry heavyweights Mikal Blue and Bret “Epic” Mazur and recorded in Los Angeles, endowing the song with a lush, cinematic quality that is both vulnerable and resilient.
At its core, the song is a delicate meditation on the paradox of love, the deep joy that comes from making a connection, shadowed by the unvoiced fear of impermanence. This song encapsulates the bittersweet joy of being in love deeply, all the while fearing its tenderness and fragility in quiet. It’s about the moment’s beauty.
Pulsing with soaring melodies and introspective lyricism, “Dance Around It” is the sort of track that sticks in the brain long after the audio has faded force, peddling both exhilarating and haunting trails of feelings. Annabel Gutherz is forging ahead as a storyteller of raw, unfiltered emotion, and “Dance Around It” is a stunning showcase for that artistry.
