about

Songwriter Becca Mancari shares her new single “Hunter” and announces her recent signing to Captured Tracks. The hypnotic song, propelled by an airtight drum groove and lacerating guitar line, finds Mancari singing to a ghost from her past, promising, “You’re never gonna track me down / You’re never gonna find me out,” her crystalline voice floating effortlessly above the distorted maelstrom brewing below it. It is a song of defiance, self-assurance, and reclaiming her power. “Hunter” was produced by Zac Farro from Paramore and is taken from a forthcoming album, of which more details will be announced soon. The track is a strong sonic evolution for Mancari delving deeper into her origin story.

Mancari on "Hunter" - "'Hunter' was born from a true story reflecting back on a person from my childhood in church who, later in my life, would send me frequent letters in the mail telling me to 'repent' and that I was a 'nasty woman' for the way I dressed and for the things I sang about. I received one of these letters the morning I planned to go into the studio with Zac Farro, and in that moment I sat down and wrote most of the lyrics, finishing the song in the studio that day. It is a song written from two people's perspectives: one of course being the 'Hunter' figure and the other from me, saying 'you will never stop me.'"

lyrics

Letters in the mailbox say I’m gonna hunt you down, I’m gonna hunt you down

I am the prophet, I am the savior
Well I am the prophet, I am the savior

Letters in the mailbox say I’m gonna hunt you down
Letters in the mailbox say I’m gonna hunt you down, say I’m gonna hunt you down

Letters in the mailbox say I’m gonna hunt you down, I’m gonna hunt you down

I am the prophet, I am the savior
Well I am the prophet, I am the savior

Well you’re never gonna track me down, no you’re never gonna find me out 
Well you’re never gonna track me down, no you’re never gonna find me out 

Letters in the mailbox say I’m gonna hunt you down, I’m gonna hunt you down 
Cause I know you I know you I know you 
I know you I know you I know you 
Well I am the prophet, I am the savior

Well you’re never gonna track me down, no you’re never gonna find me out 
Well you’re never gonna track me down, no you’re never gonna find me out...
