Joanna Sternberg Shares New Song “Neighbors”: Listen

Joanna Sternberg has shared their first new song since releasing I’ve Got Me earlier this year. “Neighbors” was recorded at Sternberg’s living room piano by Chris Miller. Listen below.
“I wrote this song about my social anxiety and how it manifests in the context of the high-rise building I live in,” Sternberg said in a statement. “I often am unsure of so many social rules and social cues that I just wind up either shutting down completely, or acting like an over-friendly almost muppet-like version of a human. This song is definitely intended to be sort of tongue-in-cheek/silly (I am very inspired by Randy Newman!).”
