New York City-based singer-songwriter Joanna Sternberg presents “People Are Toys To You”, the new single from their forthcoming album.

"People Are Toys To You", is the third single to be released from I've Got Me, following on from last month's release, "Mountain High", and the forthcoming album's title track.

Of “People Are Toys To You,” Sternberg adds: “I wrote this song while I was in a rush walking to the subway with my double bass. I was upset about something and the song sort of wrote itself. The funny thing is that Soundcloud Pro’s ‘who is listening’ feature told me the person I wrote this song about listened to it four times when I posted it on Facebook. Oops!”

In addition to illustrating each single’s accompanying video, Sternberg masterfully wrote and played every instrument heard on I’ve Got Me. The album is their recorded debut as a string arranger and drummer, and “People Are Toys To You” marks Sternberg’s first song credited as electric guitarist.

"People Are Toys To You", is out now. Joanna Sternberg's forthcoming second album, I’ve Got Me, arrives on 30 June via Fat Possum and is available for pre-order.
