Winter – …And She’s Still Listening
Today, Winter has released her new EP …and she’s still listening, which finds her experimenting with trip hop, spoken word, and electronic music, gracefully expanding her rolodex of influences.
“I had a beginner’s mindset when making the songs off the EP. I allowed myself to explore and play with beats and styles of singing I hadn’t ever tried before. All the lyrics are written from the perspective of a female character who is somewhat an extension of me.” Alongside the EP release, she’s also shared a visualizer for “anything at all,” a hazy and dreamlike cut whose title becomes a mantra as it’s repeated.
…and she’s still listening takes its title from the Russian fairy tale Vasilisa, where a young girl finds her freedom by listening to a doll gifted by her late mother, freeing herself from the clutches of evil and escaping the enchanted forest. “On a personal level, I felt like I had to conquer things within myself and reach a place of my own inner freedom in order to complete this EP,” she explains. The four tracks came to life during a nomadic period, as Winter bounced between London, Vermont, New York, and Los Angeles. It’s a catalog of her own emotional journey, on trusting intuition and making space to hear one’s inner voice, loosely following the semi-fictional journey of a girl who travels through the ‘dark forest’.
