pushing boundaries and challenging herself. Annie delivers thought
provoking and intelligent lyrics matched with her distinctive pop sound.

authentically raw and emotional place, infused with the contrasts of
beauty, yearning and sadness. The result, from the haunting introductory
song, “Dark Road” to the closing epic, “Fingernail Moon”, is a sumptuous
musical soundscape within which Annie’s soulful voice shines and soars.

and powerful feminist anthem “Sing“, born out of Annie’s involvement with
