In June, New York singer-songwriter Joanna Sternberg released I’ve Got Me, which was our Album Of The Week. Since then, they’ve shared some new music, including “Neighbors” and a cover of Adam Green’s “Dance With Me.” Today, they’re back with “Without You.”
“I wrote this song in an attempt at writing a 1920’s style jazzy number,” Sternberg said in a statement. “I even try soloing by scatting in the middle of it! I went to college for jazz double bass and am a huge fan of listening to and playing (and singing) jazz. I will always continue to try and write more songs in this style. This song is meant to be sung in a sort of half-joking manner and the tempo is meant to keep speeding up throughout the song to show the emotion I am trying to convey: nervousness from co-dependent attachment to something or someone you love.”
