Philosopher, rapper, storyteller, Doomtree member and poignantly beautiful soul Dessa is September’s Band of The Month featured artist on Crave. All month long we’ve brought you clips from an intimate living-room performance featuring several tracks off her excellent new album Parts of Speech, as well as an interview session. Today we bring you the final installment of the series, a heartwrenching performance of the song “Annabelle”.
We kicked off our BOTM: Dessa feature with an intimate performance of “Call Off Your Ghost,” and followed up with a uniquely stripped-down rendition of “The Lamb”. Continuing the session series, we also brought you a reworked version of “The Man I Knew,” a poignant perspective on love through the lens of substance abuse, replete live guitar riffs provided by Dustin Kiel and the gorgeous harmonies between Dessa and her vocal partner Aby Wolf.
Now check out a somber take on “Annabelle,” exclusively on CraveOnline:
Get Parts of Speech and keep up with all things Dessa at her official site, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. Check back next week for the revealing of our October Band of the Month!
