Carrie Baxter - You (Single)

Taking no moment to stand still, Irish-born, London-based Carrie Baxter delivers yet another head-turning single in the form of “You”.

Pivoting away from the playful exuberance of “Something in the Water”, the first single in the lead up to her EP, “You” see’s Carrie take the tempo down to a night in Ronnie Scott’s over a Bourbon and unveil the distinct, unique charm in her raspy vocals.

Although displaying a personal standpoint, the track is in fact an offering as an outsider perspective on a friend’s relationship, with the sincerity in Carrie’s tone displaying empathetic value.

Speaking on the track, Carrie explains; “I wrote this song for a friend who was experiencing long distance love! He wanted to write her a song and so I thought about what he was willing to go through to be with her and wrote it! I wanted this song to feel classic, that old-school, lay down and die for you, black and white movie kinda love - hopefully you feel that.”

“You” comes as the second exciting instalment and taste for what is to come in her forthcoming EP “What Now” releasing on October 22nd, which will be supported by her first headline tour, a five-date tour of the UK and Ireland.
