The track follows the release of the similarly captivating ‘Faster Than We Ran’.
On her thoughtful and emotional new single ‘Slot Machines’, Orange County indie pop singer-songwriter Anna Elyse explores growth, and the concept of outgrowing people and situations and the bittersweet realities of that. The poignant songwriting and affecting sense of gravity that the artist has grown known for within her sound do a great job of elevating this already thoughtful premise into something that feels powerful and rousing.
The idea of pulling the level on a slot machine and hoping for the best in fairly random circumstances is one that often mirrors life in the choices and decisions that we make, rolling the dice and hoping for the best outcome, and this is a central theme of the artist’s latest single. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on the situation), life moves on, and as we drift apart from people and situations and develop a need for more stability, we can’t just hope for the best in these situations and hope to that things go back to how they were, and the artist delicately and articulates this through the weight and resonating allure of her lyrics and sound.
