It\u2019s hard not to be charmed by Burch as she tackles relatable topics like loneliness and poor communication with sunny guitar, burnt toast, and lots of sad balloons. The video is a perfect match for the song\u2019s melancholy-yet-upbeat demeanor, an oxymoron that Burch seems to have mastered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Falling under the genre Burch coins as &#8220;bummer pop,&#8221; the song mixes catchy chord progressions found in conventional pop music with candid lyricism that hits close to home. In &#8220;Tea-Soaked Letter&#8221; the songwriter laments the fruitless game-playing found in many (millennial) relationships. Burch sings, &#8220;No you can&#8217;t come up\/Who am I kidding? I would drag you up,&#8221; finally giving up the hard-to-get approach and saying what she actually feels. Whether you need to muster up the courage to say what you really mean or cathartically sing along while continuing to play the game, &#8220;Tea-Soaked Letter&#8221; is a solid go-to.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch the full video below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9i4oavM__CQ?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit\u2019s latest indie-pop sweetheart, Anna Burch, just released the music video for her single \u201cTea-Soaked Letter\u201d along with the announcement that her debut album Quit the Curse will be available on February 2nd, 2018.
