Carrie Baxter - You (Alternate) (Official Video)

Fast becoming known for her dreamy jazz-infused melodies and raspy vocals, Carrie Baxter delivers an acoustic, alternate version of her track ‘You’, out now.

Lyrically, ‘You’ presents itself as confessional tale of devotion and unconditional love, with this stripped-back release seeing Carrie at her most open and intimate. Baxter truly unveils all in this track as it is not only a one-take recording, it is a completely unfiltered version of the single with no alterations from its live presentation. Led only by piano, the bare nature of the track gives Carries enchanting vocal the space to soar, with her raspy tone adding alluring character to the tender narrative, as she blossoms on this acoustic re-imagining.

Speaking on the track, Carrie explains; "If I could do an alternate version of every track I would, specifically just me and a pianist (my favourite instrument) There’s something about the romance of this song and it needing a piano on this version. The space I have to sing and the words being allowed to breath is the stuff I live for.

The live video, accompanying the release, is a stunning one-take visual illumination of the raw talent of Carrie. Recorded totally live, with absolutely zero tweaks to the audio or visual, it is fair to say the video is an honest reflection of this burgeoning artist’s unique vocals, immense potential and a humble offering of what a Carrie Baxter live show would offer.
