Ginger Winn - "Escape"

Kingston, NY based and originally from Charleston, SC, Ginger Winn has a new single out. "Escape" is a raw and painful folk track, although the song does have some fairly huge moments and is mostly uplifting. It has an ability to straddle the line between folk-pop and indie folk in how accessible yet unique it is. The song also leans much more into the world of modern folk than a traditional style, and ends in a crescendo that is much more in the vein of pop music. "Escape" is a personal and epic song that is going to have some huge crossover appeal to folk fans of many styles.

Ginger Winn says of her latest single:

"It’s about running—and trying to escape your own mind and thoughts, which is very hard to do. There’s a double meaning when I say ‘except me / accept me.’ Not only does the song mean ‘there’s nothing to fear except the fear of me,’ but it’s also a plea—as you hear the vocals crying out, ‘accept me.’ Social anxiety in an empty space like the woods is an eerie, indescribable, nonsensical feeling as real as the trees themselves.”
