Odetta Hartman announces New EP, Restoration
New York singer-songwriter, Odetta Hartman has shared her new single “Good Socks” which arrives alongside the announcement of a three-track EP, Restoration.
“The first release from my upcoming Restoration EP has been a back pocket anthem for years – performed in churches and clubs, sidewalks and schools, as a circle song sing-a-long shared with audiences around the world," Hartman shares.
"In its nascent form, this little love song was simply strummed over two acoustic chords; the feel-good magic of simplicity with a sticky, happy hook. The concept for the Restoration EP was born: a return to a former flavor, grounded in a familiar faculty. With maestro Lorenzo Wolff at the helm, we prioritized strings over synths, acoustics over ableton, and live takes over digital tricks. Bridging the two-fold projects together, “Good Socks” begins with a found sound meditation that serves as an invitation to wonder, 'what makes you happy?'"
“The video for “Good Socks” was inspired by Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and serves as an authentic window into a very familiar day of my life," she continues. "By fate stranger than fiction, I am raising my baby on the same cubic block that I grew up on, nestled in NYC's Lower East Side amongst an iconic cast of characters. We spend our days walking - searching for sprinklers, praying for naps and stumbling into synchronicity on every corner. Accompanied by director Rachel Brown, we strolled through historic landmarks of the East Village and my childhood, popping into postcards of a downtown life and collecting friendly smiles along the way.”
Restoration trails Hartman’s recent album, swansongs which was released earlier this year.
