Anna Josephine's new single "It’d Be Easy" is a folk-pop gem

Brooklyn’s rising star Anna Josephine returns with "It’d Be Easy," the final single from her eagerly awaited sophomore EP, everything to everybody. Known for her emotionally charged songwriting and dynamic vocal delivery, Anna once again taps into the human experience, offering a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of saying goodbye when parting ways isn’t simple.

"It’d Be Easy" begins with the gentle pluck of acoustic guitar strings, setting a delicate tone that draws listeners in. Anna’s voice, both tender and powerful, glides over the melody with vivid, heartfelt lyrics that echo the inner turmoil of trying to let go of a relationship that, despite its flaws, still holds precious memories. The song masterfully navigates through three key changes, creating an emotional crescendo that mirrors the ups and downs of the decision to move on.

As the track progresses, it swells with layers of instrumentation — steady percussion, lush strings, and crashing drums build towards a theatrical finale. Anna’s expressive vocals soar, carrying listeners through a gripping folk-pop landscape that’s as raw as it is beautifully arranged. Her introspective lyrics capture the moment of wrestling with doubt and the painful realization that it’s time to let go, even when the heart wants to hold on a bit longer.

Reflecting on the track, Anna shares, "I wrote this song right before the end of my last relationship. I remember wishing for a reason to be mad, to make the breakup easier. But ultimately, it was about coming to terms with the fact that we couldn’t belong to each other forever."

With "It’d Be Easy," Anna Josephine cements her place as a storyteller to watch. As her next EP release approaches, anticipation builds for what this compelling new voice will offer next.
