Anna McClellan releases new single "Raisin"

in

Omaha singer/songwriter Anna McClellan has unveiled another song from their forthcoming studio album I Saw First Light.

The track “Raisin,” which was released today, can be heard below. When it comes to the song, McClellan stated:

"I have long romanticized the idea of jumping off a cliff, and categorized it as the perfect metaphor for letting go. If I could only take that leap of faith, I’d awaken.

I’d been wanting to capture the idea in song for awhile and thought it would be a much longer/more epic endeavor. And I’m sure there is still much more to say about it. In 'Raisin' though, upon jumping, the subject appears to float and become weightless. Never actually landing at all."

Pre-orders for I Saw First Light can be made here. The record will be released to the public via Father/Daughter Records on November 20. This is the follow up to McClellan’s 2018 studio album Yes and No.

Anna McClellan announces new album 'I Saw First Light'

Today, Omaha singer/songwriter Anna McClellan has announced their new studio album I Saw First Light.

To coincide with the announcement, the artist decided to drop some new music. They didn’t just release on single, though. Two singles from the album (“Pace of the Universe” and “Desperate”) are available for your listening pleasure below. When it comes to “Desperate,” McClellan said:

"Desperate tracks the thoughts of someone (me) desperate to be fully seen and understood. It harkens back to my teen years when male validation seemed the only way to be seen and I would sit in my room at my parent’s house all night feeling phantom vibrations, my heart leaping as I looked at the phone to see my crush still hadn’t texted. There’s also an underlying question of whether or not it’s possible for me to be fully seen by another and the fear that maybe genuine connection will elude me forever."

The music video for “Pace of the Universe” was directed by McClellan, Charis Forrester, and Ameen Wahba.

Pre-orders for I Saw First Light can be made here. The record will be released on November 20 via Father/Daughter Records. This will be the follow up to their 2018 studio album Yes and No.
