Singer-songwriter Annie Gallup released the magnificent album “Oh Everything” last year and has decided this year to release a series of singles, all with videos, individually.

The first one is called “Harvey Moved to Queens,” and like everything else that Gallup writes, the descriptions are carefully crafted and the sense of place and time exquisite. The song moves across a slow motion landscape of acoustic guitar, horns, keys and the whisper of a bass.

“Somewhere in the past we sang as sirens screamed/We knew our way our way around the town/We knew black cabs from limousines/But we didn’t know that what we knew was never not torn at the seams,” sings Gallup.

In the YouTube description, Gallup described the song as being informed by the COVID-19 crisis. “Two years into the pandemic, everything is stretched and some things are broken, the cracks in the world are exposed, the status quo is upended, everyone I know has had to reach to reinvent a life that makes sense.”
