New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ana Egge releases her new album White Tiger via StorySound Records.
Folk Alley featured the album as a Hear It First saying "Egge's voice has always felt like throwing the windows open, and this time out her songwriting—on every single track—rises to the same level. The arrangements behind her create the kinds of nuanced contours that support her simple, careful melodies and the artful way she sings, without overpowering or under-highlighting them."
Elmore Magazine reviewed the record saying "With White Tiger, Egge has assembled a fine band and written a bunch of songs that linger in the memory long after the end of the disc. A bit of an unsung delight, this is an album to savour. It's music that speaks to the heart and soul. "
There's an open-hearted spirit of adventure evident in the communal music-making of White Tiger, most notably in Ana's collaboration with producer Alec Spiegelman
(Cuddle Magic), whose contributions on reeds, keyboards, and vocals, together with his wind, string, and vocal arrangements, elegantly inform the whole.
Other featured musicians include singer
Anais Mitchell, guitarist Buck Meek (Big Thief), drummer
Robin MacMillan (Aoife O'Donovan), bassist Jacob
Silver (Amy Helm), and violist Adam Moss (The
Brother Brothers). Particularly touching is Ana's live trio version of John Hartford's "In Tall Buildings" with singer/guitarist
Billy Strings and violinist Alex Hargreaves.
Further praise for the album has come in from Billboard, UPROXX, The Aquarian Weekly, The Bluegrass Situation, and No Depression who choose Ana's single "Dance Around The Room With Me" as their
Fresh Track of the week. Purchase White Tiger via StorySound Records.
