ANNA B SAVAGE THE GHOST

Unflinchingly honest singer/songwriter Anna B Savage explores the unwanted lingering of a past relationship in her bold new offering 'The Ghost'. Set over ominous drum rhythms, Savage's lyrics and incredible vocal performance take centre stage, as tasteful instrumental elements, including guitar, piano and strings, gradually enter the sonic picture. The chorus refrain 'Stop haunting me please, just leave me be' is a strikingly open bid to her own mind to release of the constant stream of thoughts and memories that continue to torment her even after 5 or 6 years. "Exhausted from years of being haunted by an ex-partner, this song is a plea to let go, or be let go of. Exploring the particular cruelty of the human brain, that love can be felt so deeply, hurt so essentially and so much, and still feel so present many years later." If you've experienced a painful breakup after a long-term relationship, this one's gonna hit you hard. Listen and watch the equally moving visuals for 'The Ghost' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
