Hailing from Canada, Annabel Gutherz has enjoyed wide popularity in the past three years, thanks to evocative, lush records that are as relatable as they are cathartic. ‘Dance Around It’ confirms that very same rule, showcasing Gutherz as a potential anti-pop star; drawing inspiration from nostalgic pop stylings and classic rock elements, the talented songstress has decided not to pursue a global mainstream direction – instead finding refuge in a slightly more alternative territory.
It’s a territory where guitars, folk and Americana crowns undisturbed, wrapping Annabel into a sonic livery that’s familiar and reassuring, yet contemporary and fresh. Of course, it is a fine balance, one that’s guaranteed by Gutherz’s immersive, elegant vocals, able to wow even the most apathetic of listeners.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Dance Around It’, the Canadian creative explains: “This song captures the bittersweet joy of being deeply in love while quietly fearing its fragility. It’s about cherishing the beauty of the present while grappling with the ‘what ifs’ that loom in the background. It’s a dance of vulnerability and courage, choosing to love fully even in the face of uncertainty.”
