So remember how I love Annie? She's a Norwegian DJ and pop singer whose debut album Anniemal was released on 679 [who may I point out have signed Dead Disco!], had a pretty big push from the label and was dug by lots of bloggers and critics but no-one who would actually use a shop to buy it.
Well today, Universal Records signed her for a UK deal. She'll be working with Xenomania to make an album which'll be out at the end of 2006. Yippee. I wrote more on the subject over here.
Smashing news! I introduced bobince to Annie a few weeks back and he's now also a big fan.
ReplyDeleteBut will she be doing slightly sarcastic power pop or slightly angry lesbian rock?
ReplyDeleteWhy would she be doing angry lesbian rock!?
ReplyDeleteXenomania? Really? Hmmm. Not too sure about that one... I can see the logic though. She was always a bit too cool for skool, so to shift units they're going for a populist production house. But the fact that she sounded different was what made her stand out in the first place. Ironic, huh?
ReplyDeleteIt's only going to be 4 xenomania produced tracks apparantly.
