Anja Kotar Shares New Single ‘Midnight in Paris’
San José singer and songwriter Anja Kotar has just shared her brand new single Midnight in Paris, the final and lead single of her new EP, Songs From Isolation, out now via Kotar Music.
I am a fan of Anja's swooning and swirling voice that instantly draws the listener's attention to her storytelling. Midnight in Paris is a song about celebrating life after months of lockdown, taking us on a journey to Paris, sharing a message of hope. The whole song oozes carefree, feel-good vibes which are enhanced by the warm production packed with lush guitar strums, steady percussion and lush brass elements that create pure joyful melodies. This is one of those songs that will instantly get you in a relaxed, good mood and ready for a chill weekend. Check it out below!
Speaking more on the lead single, Anja explained:
‘Midnight in Paris’ is about the celebration of post-Covid life, portrayed as dancing through the night streets of Paris. I like to think of it as a sister song to Tuscany - that one opens the EP and Paris closes it off. Tuscany was written very soon after the gravity of this pandemic started dawning on the world and served as a daydream escape from the increasingly gloom reality. Midnight in Paris, on the other hand, comes at a much more hopeful time when there is a light at the end of the tunnel. After enduring through a year of lockdowns and our lives being turned on their heads, now, dancing through Paris seems less of a mental escape and more of a reality in planning.”
