Anna Daneshevskaya Beckerman's  artist name (also her great-grandmother’s last name) is a call back to her Russian-Jewish familial roots from her home base in New York. The name conjures a world of romance and unknowns, and as Daneshevskaya, Beckerman crafts artful, haunting songs that only ever reveal themselves half way before she spins the wheel again.

On “Somewhere In The Middle,” Beckerman approaches identity with a childlike curiosity. Backed by the production team of Model/Actriz’s Ruben Radlauer (drums, synths) and Hayden Ticehurst (guitar, synths), plus co-producer Artur Szerejko (bass) and Black Country, New Road’s Lewis Evans (saxophone), Beckerman delicately dissects the ways we often see ourselves and others in the harsh contrast of black and white.  She elaborates on the song’s concept, sharing, “My grandma had two sisters and her parents would say 'Anita has the looks, Miriam has the books, and Gloria has the charm.' I used to think about which one I would want to be. I never questioned having to choose.” The song’s accompanying video, directed by Mia Duncan, features homespun footage of Beckerman and friend Madeline Leshner, who also plays keyboards in Daneshevskaya’s live band.
