Carrie Baxter Writes A Song For Friend Experiencing Long-Distance Love

After her groovy and funky ode to drunken regret, ‘Something In The Water, ’Carrie Baxter is back with another single. This time, she shows her more lyrical and vulnerable side on the newest release, ‘You,’ serving the best kind of R&B nostalgia and sounding like Amy Winehouse.

A beautiful ballad is full of authentic pain, echoing in Carries’s voice when she sings, ‘I really wanna love without you, babe.’ Yet, curiously enough, she actually wrote ‘You’ from an observer’s perspective, empathizing with her friend.

 ‘I wrote this song for a friend who was experiencing long-distance love,’ tells Carrie. ‘He wanted to write her a song and so I thought about what he was willing to go through to be with her and wrote it! I wanted this song to feel classic, that old-school, lay down and die for you, the black and white movie kinda love - hopefully, you feel that.’ We absolutely do. And we want a friend like that.

‘You’ is the second release from Carrie’s upcoming EP ‘What Now,' releasing on October 22nd, which will be supported by her first headline, a five-date tour of the UK and Ireland.
