Through her narrative-driven approach she is inspired by artists like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Fleetwood Mac, and the Wailin' Jennys, blending pop melodies with folk and indie influences. The inspiration behind ‘STOP-MOTION’ is deeply rooted in Winn’s personal experiences and her therapeutic approach to songwriting. Collaborating with Baione, a 9/11 lawyer and poet, brought a unique dynamic to the songwriting process.
The tracks range from introspective ballads to more upbeat, energetic songs, all while maintaining a consistent thematic thread. The album's sound is characterized by its relaxing, uplifting, and peaceful ambiance, making it a perfect soundtrack for both contemplation and relaxation. The album’s overarching theme is one of relaxation and peace, urging listeners to cherish their loved ones and enjoy life. Winn’s growth as an artist is evident in her honest and unfiltered delivery. She embraces the idea that being genuine - despite the risk of not being universally liked and that has been crucial for her to feel true connection and creativity.
‘Pitta Patta’ is a standout track on the album, capturing the essence of Winn's message to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with nature. Lyrics like, “Put some mud on boots / Get me in a cabin / Or a wooden lodge,” are on ode to simplicity and joying the outdoors. The track’s rhythmic cadence and earthy instrumentation further amplify its call to action “Got nothing to do / Got nowhere to go / Where’s my phone I don’t even know”.
Another notable track, ‘SUPER 8’, delves into the euphoria of falling in love. Inspired by Baione’s honeymoon in Italy, the song's lyrics vividly paint scenes of cypress trees, poppy fields, and pastoral beauty. “Strolling cat allies to make sure /No one else is around /Every breath taking moment / It’s another celebration, ooh yeah / Of the love that we found”. The song expresses the feelings of falling in love. Life starts to feel like a dream as the angelic and deep chords combined with the poetic lyrics create a dreamlike world.
The response to Winn’s music has been profoundly emotional, with many listeners moved to tears by her voice and the heartfelt nature of her songs. Each track offers a window into her world, inviting listeners to join her on a journey of introspection, connection, and serenity. Looking forward, Winn has already teased the existence of enough material for a second album, promising fans more of the genuine, evocative music that defines ‘STOP-MOTION’.
