Okay kids, lookie at what I stumbled upon! ANNABEL JONES !
This girl blends such a good variety of elements in music, that I personally think are the backbone of good pop. The retro, electronica beat in this cut, is just the right amount of what needs to be happening, in order for her voice to shine. Giving a proper listen to this, and doing a little bit of research into the girl, it’s safe to say Jones grew up around music. During her teens and early twenties she fronted a band, Lady and the Lost Boys. They did their thing and did it well. Garnering lots of attention for their Piano pop cuts, which were the driving force for their success, these sensibilities obviously didn’t leave Annabel when she turned her attention to her solo material, which The Guardian described as “polished and perfect” . Have a listen to her song IOU below.
Annabel’s forthcoming EP, Libelle, marks her debut for Crooked Paintings/Atlantic Records. History’s best pop songs are written with an honesty that allows listeners to recognize themselves in the music. These reflect a similarly indelible nature: true stories written from experience that embed themselves in mind and marrow.
“It feels like many pop stars have forgotten they carry responsibility,” Jones says. “I don’t want to make some-one feel empty. I want them to feel full of meaning.”
