The folk-pop upstart lets her voice blend into the syrupy elixir of styles on a new song.

Sounds and colors are meant to mingle and dance together. The harmonious display, when done correctly, each sonic plate represented and echoing off the others, is a vision to behold. New York City native and folk-pop craftsperson Anna Volpe navigates each musical territory with enrapturing command and allows the styles to bend as light in a prism. “The Way We Are” is one of her most extraordinary compositions, fixed with a choir of heaven-kissed horns that seem to sing “hallelujah” with peeping shouts and a soothing, carriage-driven gallop. Her voice runs thick and caramel, and you can surely get lost in her magnetism. “The water rushes in from both sides / Oh, it’s just the way we are,” she sings. Her lark-like phrasing both pulls from deep inside, forever rooted in the truths of humanity, and pushes the dazzling warmth of existence together.
“The Way We Are” is lifted from her debut EP, Call My Name, out everywhere now.
