Based in Tucson, Arizona, singer-songwriter Annie Anna creates music inspired by the likes of Hozier, Matt Maeson and Shakey Graves. Standing at the crossroads of storytelling folk music and the dark grit of rock, she crafts an entirely original sound that blurs genres and hosts profound and meaningful songwriting.
Over the last six years she’s been sharing her original sound which she revealed with her debut single “Diamond in the Rough” in 2018. Followed up by her sophomore outing the next year, she returned in 2023 with two more tracks, showcasing her evolving musical output.
Now she brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “Wait,” a stunning slice of her elegant songwriting, intricate guitar performance and beautiful voice all wrapped up in an intimate indie folk sound. Mixed and mastered by Riley J. Corbin, the single captures Annie Anna’s softer side, showcasing the depths of her talent as a lyricist and songwriter.
Recorded in her own home, “Wait” offers a poetic expression of connection and love, inspired by the artist’s best friend’s wedding. Presented as a love letter, the lyrics transport the audience straight to the world of a couple, with imagery of winter winds tearing down walls and the delicate tale of falling together creating a vivid emotional fabric to get lost in.
Started off by the fade in of bright acoustic guitar plucks, Annie’s voice floats across the soundscape with a sustained note, softly quivering with expressive emotion before settling into a graceful and subtly lively dance above the delicate arrangement. With gentle piano notes adding warmth, she casts an enchanting sound that stops you in your tracks and speaks straight to your soul.
Picking up a mellow energy with the hushed patter of brushed percussion, “Wait” takes you on a mesmeric journey through Annie Anna’s timeless songwriting and truly alluring vocal performance. Full of dazzling melodies, poignant lyricism and rising energy throughout, “Wait” delivers a sensational listening experience that reveals the more tender side of Annie Anna’s compelling sound.
