Sigh in quiet reflection along to Abbey Anderson’s tender pop confessional, ’17’.
Abbey bares it all in this soft, stripped-down track, ’17’, as she soulfully navigates the anxiety-inducing, existential uncertainties that come with being a teenager.
Opening ethereally and gently, just a guitar strummed along with her angelic voice. She sings ever so tenderly, painting an intriguing self-perspective. It’s not easy to take a good, honest, hard look at yourself, but Abbey does it with a maturity and grace far beyond her years.
Do you remember how it felt to be 17? The burdensome weight of expectations and growing pains. Abbey hits the nail on the head in conveying that struggle through the lyrics. Her voice, laden with soul, softly serenades, along with the simple guitar strums and subtle, almost imperceptible piano tones.
17 stands out for its simplicity and purity. Moving at the measured, graceful tempo, the track meanders, guided by Abbey’s emotion and heart. Somewhere through this honest inquiry, Abbey comes to a comforting realization that it’s not all world-ending, sky-falling at 17.
So what if she doesn’t have it all figured out yet? It’s okay.
The young, upcoming Canadian pop artist, Abbey Anderson, finds her inspiration from the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and Gracie Abrams. ’17’ marks her third published release this year. Guided closely by industry veteran Roy Hamilton III, who signed her to The Singers Company to produce her music.
The future looks bright for Abbey and her wear-it-on-your-sleeve brand of pop music. We look forward to hearing more from this talented rising pop artist.
