The track follows the release of their rousing debut single ‘If You Wanted To You Would’
Looking to build on the momentum created with the release of their excellent debut single ‘If You Wanted To You Would’, Annie and the Jays showcase the variety and depth of their sound with the release of their heartfelt follow up ‘The Understudy’, a track about reclaiming yourself worth that unfolds in liberating and empowering fashion.
The track has the feel of a vintage ballad to it throughout, exploring themes like being somebodies back up or second choice in love and the conflicting feelings and emotions that that brings to the surface. The moving nature of the vocals and stirring instrumentation do a great job of articulating the weight and heartache caused by the narrative, and it serves as a powerful example of when it is time to call it quits and walk away.
