Anna Of The North has today released her beautiful new album, ‘Dream Girl‘, which is available now on Play It Again Sam. The record features the recently-released title tracks alongside earlier singles / fan favourites such as ‘Leaning On Myself’, ‘Thank Me Later’, ‘Playing Games’ and ‘Used To Be’.
With her signature synth beats, whimsical melodies and her penchant for relatable and confessional lyrics, Anna Of The North has become one of the most enigmatic, and universally treasured pop artists out there. Her debut album ‘Lovers’ – released back in 2017 – continues to take on an unexpected life of its own: accumulating over 200 million streams, its songs of heartache, guilt and the tentative joys of moving on have united a rich global audience in their intimate shared experiences. Few modern artists, too, could appear as at home working with Tyler, the Creator (Anna lent her vocals to Flower Boy) and Rejjie Snow as they are duetting with HONNE, playing with Anderson Paak, landing a viral remix by The Chainsmokers or, most recently, featuring on a Snakehips record. ‘Lovers’ word-of-mouth success culminated with the title track taking off via NETFLIX seminal smash hit ‘All The Boys I Used To Love’ and as a result, is still streamed over 100,000 times a day (nearly a year after the film’s release). All these roads lead to ‘Dream Girl’ – which see Anna of the North take all she learnt from ‘Lovers’ and the years since, but with a newfound fearlessness that runs consistently throughout the album. Across the 13-track record, it’s difficult not to fall totally in love with Anna’s incredibly infectious open-minded approach to life. The difference this time round is that now it really is just Anna Of The North – fleet-footed, over-spilling with the confidence of creativity, and in full control of the decision-making processes. As a result of her sole-commanding influence, the over-riding subject matter of ‘Dream Girl’ is exactly that – expertly exploring what it means to be a woman in the present day, how your romantic relationships don’t have to define who you are and ultimately, that being content standing on your own two feet is the most important thing. Anna Of The North will embark on a European tour in November which reaches London’s Heaven on the 6th.
