Kingston, NY via Charleston, South Carolina Folk singer/songwriter Ginger Winn has shared her single “Not You”, a tribute to the artist’s late father, out now. Winn’s sophomore album Freeze Frame is due out June 13, 2025. On May 1, the artist and musician/producer A.J. Yorio (Michael Marcagi) will also play live at Colony in Woodstock, NY.

Winn has also released a mental health-focused surprise EP, Reflections out now. Written in the wake of losing her father, the three-track EP includes the song “To Dad“, where the artist begins to process her grief. Included on the project is a cover of The Lumineers‘ “Gloria” that reimagines the original with Winn’s own personal touches.

Winn says, “Not You”…

…wrestles with a word difficult to say out loud – suicide. Especially about a loved one. I lost my own father to suicide this past Thanksgiving. We actually made the demo for this song over a year ago, before my own experiences, but I recorded it with A.J. Yorio in January and used it as a catharsis. I hope it helps others who have experienced the loss and resulting guilt, confusion, and pain associated with it.

The forthcoming LP, Freeze Frame, produced and engineered by A.J. Yorio, sees Winn tackle “heavy topics like suicide, grief and anxiety.”

Winn says about the new album:

I had never lost someone that close before. It shifted everything. We recorded in January, while the emotions were still raw. ‘Freeze Frame’ is a reflection of that—of change, of loss, of holding on to fleeting moments before they disappear.

In 2022, Winn began producing music for others online, and in 2024, shared her debut album, STOP-MOTION, produced by David Baron (The Lumineers, Noah Kahan, Shawn Mendes).
