Annie, or Anne Lilia Berge Strand as she was christened
twenty five years ago in Norway, is what we old fashioned pundits would call an
entity…A dynamic new presence in the world of music…An artist not afraid to
cross boundaries, but destined to push them down with a sweet smile and a
electro fuelled kiss.
Annie’s highly anticipated debut album ‘Anniemal’ is a
magnificent combination of alternative pop, applied with suss and style - easy
enough in theory, almost impossible to pull off in practice. Until now that is…'Anniemal'
is as commercial as a blockbuster, as smart as a whip and as irresistible as
gravity.
Since releasing 'Chewing Gum,' (For many the first taste of
the Annie sound - Anniemal’s first UK Single release and debut chart hit) a
24-carat pop masterpiece in its own right already dubbed as one of the singles
of last year, Annie has released her debut album in her native Scandinavia and
has quickly been heralded as a superstar in the making.
