Annachristie Sapphire‘s bio reads that she “has a soulful huskiness and power that could break glass.” After watching the video for her new single Cut the Line we think you’ll agree with every word from that bio. Taken from her upcoming LP “Desert Car” Cut the Line is a powerful and potent track, she uses 1950’s backing style vocals introduce a nostalgic connection to the listener while also adding a noirish edge (David Lynch would be all over it)…Vocally, she’s totally captivating.
She shared the following on the video for Cut the Line which is also our Song of the Day: - Folk Radio
American singer-songwriter Annachristie Sapphire possesses a dreamy and irresistible quality to her voice, as you can hear in her new track. ‘Cut The Line’ is the first single to be released off her upcoming album Desert Car, produced by Tim Sonneford. Predominantly based on the genre of folk and Americana, the song also draws influences from ’50s-style backing vocals and the rawness of the ’90s. Featuring the lyrics ‘I wanna put the hook in your lips and draw you in. Cut the line, drop you back and watch you swim’, the song is about fishing for love, and she isn’t subtle about it. - born music online
