Fine craftsmanship should always be appreciated, and the newest single from Mike Mangione, “Anastasia,” is some work of the highest quality. The song is a plea for reconciliation, trying to win back the woman that has already decided to leave. Mangione captures the downtrodden feeling of rekindling a fire that has been put out with dark notes, and lyrics that feel like an inner thought process come to life. Mangione and Thomas West collaborate for the video, which features choreographed dances and a narrative, but all of it intersperses with the theme of the song. Make sure you check out Mangione’s catalog, which is ever expanding with new singles as of late, and the video for “Anastasia” below:
