Pop Heaven: Clip of new Annie track “Girlfriend” appears on MySpace

Gone To The Blogs, Music News, Pop Heaven / Pop Hell

A few years back, I proclaimed to a table of utterly uninterested friends that Annie was going to be a massive popstar within twelve months. I am glad the friends weren’t really listening, because I was just about as wrong as it’s possible to be.
However, Annie did get a fair amount of blog loving, and her track “Heartbeat” from debut album Anniemal even got Pitchfork’s Single Of The Year award for 2004. Basically, since then everyone who tipped her the first time around has been waiting for to come back and prove them right.
And now she is back-ish. A clip of the song “Girlfriend” has surfaced on her MySpace, and it’s a pleasing dose of Richard X-produced electro-pop topped by Annie’s typically fragile falsetto. Good to hear she hasn’t become a baritone over the last few years, then.
Go here to give the clip a listen - with an album slated for April more stuff should surface soon…
