Singer/songwriter Cornelia Murr is back with new single “Skylight,” a track off her forthcoming album Run To The Center available February 28 via 22TWENTY. The album was produced by Luke Temple (Adrienne Lenker, Hand Habits). The the track is accompanied by a video directed by Laura-Lynn Petrick (Weyes Blood, Jessica Pratt).

Of the single, Murr shares, “”Skylight” is about waking up out of the doldrums thanks to chance encounters that remind you life can change and look so many different ways, as if looking through windows into other timelines. Director Laura-Lynn Petrick and I approached the video much the same way. We just played with the environment we had, which happened to be the Hudson Valley in summertime, and caught whatever good happenstance we could find. It amounted to trains, bridges, and truck rides among other scenes that suited the sense of movement the song is all about.” Murr has also just announced a North American tour supporting Papooz this Spring.

In naming the album, Run To The Center, Murr mirrored where she found herself during its creation—at the geographic heart of the 48 contiguous United States, the small town of Red Cloud, Nebraska (population: 948). There she hunkered down to restore an abandoned house, immersing herself in solitude and reflection. Music flowed out of her during this monastic period of stripping wallpaper in a derelict construction zone in the middle of nowhere. In the last place she expected, she was able to gain a vantage point of her own life and ultimately locate her own center, a grounding force that was inside of her the whole time.
