Metronomy’s Anna Prior releases new solo single
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 16 March 2022
Metronomy drummer Anna Prior has released her second solo single, ‘Easier Alone’, following last year’s ‘Thank You For Nothing’. As with that earlier track, Prior collaborated with Jules Rosset on the new song.
“’Easier Alone’ is a song about letting good things go”, she says. “It’s about all those healthy friendships, relationships, situationships that just become stifled under the weight of the expectation we place on ourselves. The relationships that you know would be nourishing and supportive, if only you could let someone love you without your own limits”.
“But it’s true though, most things are easier on your own”, she continues. “Except moving house, tug o war and writing a song, at least in my case. I loved working with Jules Rosset again on this track – he helped me steer the music in a much more interesting direction – the song was called ‘Piano Thing’ for months before that – and most importantly, always responded to my maniacally composed emails of ideas within five minutes of me sending them – a perfect match for the over thinker!”
The single is released on Prior’s new record label Beat Palace, to which she has also signed Julia-Sophie, who released new EP ‘It Feels Like Thunder’ last week.
