Nashville singer-songwriter Jill Andrews releases new single "High Fives"
Nashville singer-songwriter Jill Andrews has unveiled their new single "High Fives" today.
The new song, which was produced by Lucas Morton, finds Andrew collaborating with Hush Kids bandmate Peter Groenwald. An accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was co-directed by Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard.
Andrews said this about the song, which is out on digital services right now:
“I’ve always been a big fan of elaborate handshakes. I once created a routine with a friend of mine that lasted upwards of five minutes and involved a whole lot of synchronized dancing. Near the four and a half minute mark, we would find ourselves in a crab-walking position preparing for our final move. It was a grand high five followed by a nonchalantly spoken ‘see ya’ as we crab-walked out of each other’s view. This move proved to be tricky for us bipeds so we kept missing contact on the high five. In my opinion, there is nothing more unsettling than this. So we had to start the whole routine over again until we finally got it right. This could take all day. But when you’re young, what else do you have to do?
My favorite kinds of friends know how to dive deep into the fun-loving sides of themselves. They may have learned and performed all of Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ dance routine with me at one point or another. They may have helped me develop a couple’s inline skating routine in a freshly paved parking lot somewhere in East Tennessee. It seems like these types of friends are harder to find as an adult. Everyone gets so tangled up in bills, kids, and home repairs. I’m lucky to still have a treasured few in my life. And for those who really know me, I hope they still see that silly girl, whose favorite thing to do is laugh so hard that she loses control of her limbs.”
“Hive Fives” follows Andrews’ previous single “Dark Days,” and they’re not looking to slow down just yet with dropping new tunes:
"Over the past few years when I’d sit down to write, old memories would flood in, distant smells and visions. At first I dismissed them but they kept coming day after day. Eventually my writing sessions became more of a meditation, with me sitting quietly on the couch listening for ideas flowing from some seemingly magical and unconscious place. I am so excited to be releasing new music this year, stay tuned for much more."
Andrews’ last studio album was 2020’s Thirties.
