Anna Of The North releases homemade lo-fi track & video for ‘Dream Girl’
Releases homemade lo-fi track & video for “Dream Girl”
“Dream Girl” recently featured in Global TV Commercial for new Apple iPad Pro
Limited Edition Dream Girl LP re-issued for #LoveRecordStores
Acoustic EP coming soon
Most recently, Anna surprised fans with a lyric video for the track that saw her doing the ultimate social distance shenanigans; prancing around her bedroom, trying on clothes and getting dressed up to go… nowhere. The Norwegian artist’s bedroom pop is more relevant now than ever for dreaming up your own reality and dancing alone in your bedroom.
The video comes in the midst of Anna discovering, to her surprise, that “Dream Girl” was in the Global Apple iPad Pro commercial last month. In less than a week Anna was charting on iTunes in over 30+ Countries, Daily Spotify Streams doubled, and overall streaming increased 187%. Anna’s debut album, Lovers, word-of-mouth success culminated in the title track taking off via a surprise sync in Netflix’s seminal smash hit ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’, ‘Lovers’ is still streaming over 100K times per day, nearly a year after the film’s release, and made the top 100 charts in 171 countries. But that’s not the end, a mere week after hearing “Dream Girl” take flight, quite literally as a bird in Apple’s iPad Pro sync, Anna was startled to hear yet another track, “Playing Games,” as she finished the first episode of the new Netflix Series ‘Never Have I Ever.’ That track has been Shazamed over 29,000 times since the Netflix release.
In addition, an exclusive version of the ‘Dream Girl’ album will be included in the #LoveRecordStores campaign aimed to support the independent retail sector during the COVID 19 pandemic. 500 copies of the album will be released on exclusive yellow vinyl, available to order online at independent retailers on 20th June.
Anna of the North strikes an emotional chord regardless of continent, collaborator, or genre and her music has taken on an unexpected life of its’ own as it finds success in syncs. Few modern artists could appear as at home working with Tyler, the Creator (Anna lent her vocals to two tracks on ‘Flower Boy’ alongside Steve Lacy, Frank Ocean, and Rex Orange County) and Rejjie Snow as they are duetting with HONNE or playing with Anderson Paak. All of which has led Anna to where she finds herself in now; a pop star and a fearless young woman who has been hiding in plain sight.
