Christian Lee Hutson has shared a new song called ‘Strawberry Lemonade’, which was produced by frequent collaborator Phoebe Bridgers and her Better Oblivion Community Center bandmate Conor Oberst. The track also features Bright Eyes’ Nate Walcott on piano and trumpet, Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy on electric guitar, and Oberst and Sharon Silva on backup vocals. It arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Waley Wang. Watch and listen below.
“‘Strawberry Lemonade’ is a series of vignettes about memory, letting go and holding on,” Hutson explained in a statement. “I remember talking to a friend, around the time that I wrote it, about the relentless repackaging of 1960’s culture; so some of that ended up in there. The laugh at the beginning of the song is my friend Harry who plays bass on the song.”
Hutson’s debut album, Beginners, arrived in 2020. Earlier this year, Hutson released a series of covers EPs.
