Anna Of The North - Dream Girl (2019) [Hi-Res]

Dream Girl is the brand new, enthralling second chapter from Anna Of The North which began its life early in 2019 with the release of first track ‘Leaning On Myself’ and the subsequent follow-ups ‘Used To Be’ and ‘Thank Me Later’ (all of which are included in the album). These first introductions to Anna 2.0 boldly set the tone for what is to come – taking all she learnt from ‘Lovers’ and the years since and turning it into a 2019 fearlessness that runs consistently throughout the new album. Across the 13-track record, it’s difficult not to fall totally in love with Anna’s incredibly infectious open-minded approach to life. The difference this time round is that now it really is just Anna Of The North – fleet-footed, over-spilling with the confidence of creativity and in full control of the decision-making processes, with her nerves steadied and ready to deliver her gallant solo address. As a result of her sole-commanding influence, the over-riding subject matter of ‘Dream Girl’ is exactly that – expertly exploring what it means to be a woman in the present day, how your romantic relationships don’t have to define who you are and ultimately, that being content standing on your own two feet is the most important thing.
