Abigail Lapell shares heartfelt single/video ‘Count on Me’ ft. Great Lake Swimmers

Toronto singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell unveils her new single and video ‘Count on Me,’ a spellbinding duet with the acclaimed indie-folk band Great Lake Swimmers. It’s the latest track from her upcoming album Anniversary, out May 10 via Outside Music.

A love song for both weddings and funerals, ‘Count on Me’ explores the passage of time – celebrating the rhythms of a shared life and coming to terms with its brevity. Through the track, melodic strums breeze across enchanting harmonies offered by Lapell and Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers as lyrics promise an earnest vow to a loved one. “I started writing ‘Count on Me’ for my sister’s wedding and finished it in time for her first anniversary,” Abigail says. “It’s a song for me that evokes marriages or funerals or other life ceremonies.”

The scrapbook style video, directed by Krpie, brings the romantic track to life through an array of collage, animations, and rotoscoping, piecing together images of lovers throughout different eras of time.
