The dreamy “Corinna” comes via Jonny Herman, an artist based in Norwich, UK. The reflective vocal backing approaching the one-minute mark plays with infectious anticipation, satisfyingly leading into a series of jangly guitars and dual-vocals thereafter. The wonderful escalation at 02:18 shimmers, with vocal-led feeling of triumph playing nicely amidst spirited organ and cascading guitars. The track’s production is thoroughly captivating, especially in its second-half ascension. “Corinna” was recorded using a mix of live instruments, software synths, and drum machines.
Per the artist: “The name ‘Corinna’ was picked from Ovid’s Amores, and has been used repeatedly in music as a name that is synonymous with unrequited love.”
