Richard Spitzer has released a new single, "So In Love" today, accompanied by a lyric video featuring artwork by Indra Mousely. The track is featured on Spitzer's upcoming EP, Cry Wolf, due out October 23. Pre-order Cry Wolf via Bandcamp.
Discussing "So In Love," Spitzer states, "After having a panic attack envisioning jealous thoughts and fears of betrayal, I started experiencing physical tightness in my chest. I did some Googling and realized I was probably just losing my mind. So, I calmed down and started writing this song, to ease the pressure. And it worked!" After a year of nervous breakdowns, 2020 brought New York City to the point of crisis. Cry Wolf was written as a way to calm relationship paranoia and his Jewish anxiety. Spitzer was born in New York City into an Orthodox Jewish / Cuban family where music was a natural part of daily life. Salsa sounds at home against the somber bled into daily prayer at his Orthodox Hebrew Temple. Richard found his way into performing at rave events at 16, following that path to pursuing a fine arts degree at SUNY Purchase College. There he studied studio composition with Phillip Glass, had songwriting classmates Regina Spektor, Dan Deacon, and won a contest to open for The Roots.Listen to the new single here:
