Anna Young is a Wales-based singer-songwriter who’s always written from a place that feels close to the bone. She first introduced listeners to her warm, acoustic indie pop sound back in 2010, when she arrived with her debut single “Bus To Mexico.” That first release was quickly followed up with her EP Silly Heart, a four-track outing that gently opened the door into her musical world.
Based in personal reflection and emotional honesty, Anna’s songwriting has long circled themes of love, life and the complications that come with both. There’s something quietly familiar in the way her songs take shape, like overhearing your own thoughts while walking home late in the evening, wrapped in the soft textures of acoustic folk while focusing on the small emotional details that shape everyday life.
After those early releases, however, Anna stepped away from the spotlight for an extended period and what followed was a long creative pause that would ultimately span sixteen years. During that time, the music didn’t disappear entirely, but the public chapter of her career remained quiet. Now, after more than a decade away from the scene, Anna Young has returned with new material, unveiling her latest single titled “We Found Love.”
The track opens up a new chapter in her artistic adventure while staying true to the emotional context that rippled throughout her earlier work. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, Carole King and George Ezra, Anna crafts a sound that blends folk intimacy with a gentle pop appeal, resulting a song that feels at once uplifting and reflective, informed by the life experiences that occurred during her time away.
“We Found Love” is profoundly personal, the song recounts the tale of finding connection after a series of difficult relationships, framing the feeling of two people discovering each other after long journeys, building something grounded in love, kindness and understanding. Flowing with soft guitar notes, mellow percussion and hazy organ textures, the arrangement glides with gentle rhythmic sway as Anna’s alluring voice floats in to cast a charming folk pop soundscape.
The track was recorded at Tobias Robertson’s studio in South Wales, a setting that helped shape the delicate sound that runs through the final production. During these sessions, Anna experimented with triple-tracking her vocals, a technique that stacked her voice to create added depth throughout the song which subtly expands the atmosphere of the track without losing the closeness that defines her style.
Brimming with delightful instrumental flourishes, heartfelt lyricism and memorable melodic moments, “We Found Love” delivers a stunning musical experience that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It’s a superb new outing that sees Anna Young make a welcome return to the music sphere in stellar fashion.
