Cassandra Jenkins releases acoustic version of “Hotel Lullaby”

Cassandra Jenkins released her debut album Play Till You Win in 2017, but her songs from that record continue to enchant new listeners in different ways. The songwriter released an acoustic version of her cosmic track "Hotel Lullaby" on March 8th, in which she strips the song of everything but her hushed voice, her guitar, and a symphonic string quartet. The track takes on greater intimacy this way, making you feel like you’re getting a listen into its inner workings. This version of "Hotel Lullaby" got some recent publicity when ABC’s Musicland — a show on their online channel ABC Localish — premiered it in a video, showing Jenkins performing the song at the Plaza Hotel where her father used to play piano. Take a listen to the acoustic version of "Hotel Lullaby" below. – Will Sisskind
