Lizzie Manno for PASTE MAGAZINE – Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn have released a new music video for “Let It Go,” taken from their 2017 album, Echo In The Valley.
This banjo-playing duo (and married couple) won a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album for their self-titled debut album and last year, the band released their follow-up album, Echo In The Valley, to critical acclaim.
”’Let It Go’ is an important song for our family,” Fleck and Washburn tell Paste. “Having a child is a constant process of letting go, starting with birth. It’s both exciting to see our son Juno spread his wings, and simultaneously sad to see him move independently out into the world. The song was also designed so it can be about other things, involving relationships and personal growth as we put things behind us and lean into the future … It’s up to the listener to find the meaning that resonates for them.”
