The song is from her solo debut EP, Peaks, due out this November. “With ‘Nose To Nose’, I wanted to capture the purest form of love, and I felt like a fun way to express that was writing about my dog Banjo. She’s such a presence in my life,” says Dreyfuss. “The lyrics seem like they’re about a person though! Musically, it’s the joy of having this unconditional love from an innocent animal. It’s a celebration of that.” Watch and listen now: Establishing herself across theater and television, Dreyfuss went from a standout turn in Once to two years in Dear Evan Hansen. Along the way, she garnered various honors, including a 2018 Grammy Award in the category of “Best Musical Theater Album” for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen and a Daytime Creative Emmy Award in the category of “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” for “You Will Be Found” as performed on The Today Show. Working with producer Michel Heyaca, she introduced herself as an artist with singles such as “Be Great” [feat . Jeremy Pope], “Better Drugs” and “Sidelines.” Beyond generating millions of streams and views, she attracted tastemaker praise from Complex, Nylon and more. Taking the reins, she presents her most unfiltered vision yet through engaging electronic-inflected indie-pop anthems rooted in candid lyricism and uplifted by dynamic vocals on Peaks. Next, do people who are tone-deaf hear music differently?
