Connor Desai releases music video

Singer-songwriter Connor Desai crafts beautiful indie folk music, led by her smooth and calming vocal leads and delicate acoustic guitar arrangements. Taking influence from jazz and pop styles, her own music offers a blissful sound that’s earned Connor comparisons to artists such as Brandi Carlile, Jenny Lewis and Norah Jones.

Originally growing up in Allentown, immortalised by the Billy Joel song of the same name, Connor was raised with her four other siblings around the steel factories where her father and grandfather both worked. Her mother, a member of the legendary The Sons of Thunder group during the 60s and 70s encouraged the young artist to pick up the guitar and piano and thus her musical journey started.

Since 2007 and the release of her debut eponymous EP she’s been delighting listeners with her charming songwriting and performance talents. More recently she created a significant buzz after her stunning cover of the Grateful Dead’s song “Friend of the Devil” was featured in the final scene of the Top 10 Netflix thriller ‘The One’, triggering over fifty thousands Shazams around the world from viewers keen to find out the performing artist of the song.

Off the back of that success, she released her latest single titled “Some Time Ago”, the latest showcase of Connor Desai’s elegant sonic vision. Carried by her graceful vocals delivering pretty and warming melodies and an intricate instrumental arrangement, on “Some Time Ago” Connor Desai shares a thoroughly satisfying indie folk ballad.

Recently she shared the music video for “Some Time Ago”, to perfectly accompany the single. Inspired by her hometown in Pennsylvania, Lehigh Fields, the video features picturesque scenes of the state blended with images of a paper fortune teller and drawings and paintings, all elements that have been important to the artist throughout her life.
