Adeline Hotel’s new single ‘Habits’ feat. Cassandra Jenkins, continues the country-tinged direction set out on the band’s last album ‘It’s Alright, Just the Same’ from 2016. The song’s unhurried folk sensibility gently floats on a breeze, but packs in a lyrical heft you might not expect to come by in a sweetly strummed folk tune. But singer/songwriter Daniel Knishkowy excels at drawing weighty contrasts between lightheartedness and poignancy. In ‘Habits,’ his easy-going vocals provide a tender exterior over a frank discussion of timely existential needs: a wistful rumination on what’s really needed to reach happiness, and why it can be so hard to come by. Cassandra Jenkins, who released a notable debut album of her own last year, provides backing vocals.
