U.K./Canadian folk artist Anna Westin has dropped their new single “A Slow Revelation” today.

The dreamy tune is the first single from Westin’s forthcoming studio album LEV, which stands for “heart” in Hebrew. An accompanying music video for the cut, which can be seen below, was directed by Michael Costner. Filmed in Los Angeles and the Joshua Tree desert, the visual features actor Sevda Levent in the lead role.

Westin said this about the new song:

“The song was, for me, an exploration of how a relationship can go from a mysterious and hidden feeling to an actual ’thing’ - an expressed and reciprocal connection to another person. I realized that most of it had to be about trust - that you had to, at one point or another, trust the person enough to take their word for it, that this trust was what took a relationship from ’nothing’ to ’something’. And it feels so fragile, so tenuous. The idea that so much could come out of something so little. It reminded me of how trust is the delicate thread that weaves all human relationship, love, together in some way - which is why it is so painful when it is broken, or forgotten - even though this, too, is such a normal, human experience. And then we have to start again, to go back to a small act of trusting what another person has said, to build a new thing…”

“A Slow Revelation” is available on digital services right now.
