ABIGAIL LAPELL’S NEW LP, ANNIVERSARY, OUT MAY 10 VIA OUTSIDE MUSIC
Toronto singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell unveiled her new single “Count on Me”, a spellbinding duet with the acclaimed indie-folk band Great Lake Swimmers. It’s the latest track from her upcoming album Anniversary, out May 10 via Outside Music.
A love song for both weddings and funerals, “Count on Me” explores the passage of time – celebrating the rhythms of a shared life and coming to terms with its brevity. Through the track, melodic strums breeze across enchanting harmonies offered by Lapell and Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers as lyrics promise an earnest vow to a loved one.
“I started writing ‘Count on Me’ for my sister’s wedding and finished it in time for her first anniversary,” Abigail says. “It’s a song for me that evokes marriages or funerals or other life ceremonies.”
The scrapbook-style video, directed by Krpie, brings the romantic track to life through an array of collages, animations, and rotoscoping, piecing together images of lovers throughout different eras of time.
Abigail Lapell will be embarking on a North American tour this spring, making stops across Canada with more dates to be announced.
