Mackenzie Shrieve - 'in the before'


NYC based singer songwriter Mackenzie Shrieve gives love a try on new single ‘in the before’.

There is nothing quite as heart-warming as gentle vocals singing about the wonders of falling in love. To a backdrop of delicate guitars and tenderly dancing rhythms, ‘in the before’ paints images of two people building up the courage to let love in. Mackenzie Shrieve’s gorgeous vocals that effortlessly intertwine with the song’s soaring melodies leave behind a golden hue and an unwavering sense of hope, a perfect mirror of her sweet lyricism – “We’ve been talking without shutting our mouths, finally figured it out. Now it’ll take a lot for me to ever leave since I knocked, and you let me in.”


‘in the before’ is a stunning addition to Mackenzie’s catalogue of beautifully emotive indie folk. A song that fuels excitement for more.
