In their own words….
Annalie presents a new kind of intelligent pop. Her songs are stories from outside the box, walking the line between witty insight and painful naivete. They are anthems for the millennial generation. Already invoking comparisons to Regina Spektor and Leonard Cohen, Annalie’s music provides an adventurous alternative to the world of formulaic pop.
