Winter - "sunday"

The latest single comes from Winter. The musical project of Samira Winter, Winter just released "sunday" which melds an impossible number of genres seamlessly. "sunday" is mostly a pop song, and a pretty straightforward one. But Winter also includes quite a bit of a shoegaze and dream pop element into the song. You get the hazy feel of shoegaze throughout. Earlier in the song it sounds like it's going to stick in the indie rock and indie folk genres as this laid back, atmospheric song. And then the beats kick in and it's almost a dance song.
