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.
But will she be doing slightly sarcastic power pop or slightly angry lesbian rock?
Xenomania? 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?
It’s only going to be 4 xenomania produced tracks apparantly.
