Hi I'm Anna ,
Welcome to
my website.
Well It's mega busy at the moment with the album , Material is still being worked on and I'm kind of half way through that process
anyone who has been here before , will probably say - " What still ? " but that's how long it takes.
To get to this point , it's taken over Two years , so another Eight months wont make any difference to anyone lol
Getting the material is just one part of it , I've been incredibly lucky in my search for collaborators , having found a number of great talents on Soundclick and Indaba.
Things were flying and everything was great and then BANG ! a throat and viral infection put the whole thing on ice.
How frustrating was that ! but that all seems to be in check now and finally
I can move forward again.
I've had the chance in that Six or Eight weeks to continue writing and it seems to have paid off, again I've linked up with Paul Mcilwaine ( whom I consider to be my main songwriting partner ) as well as a number of other new talents.
There is something about Pauls music , It all seems to fit and seeing as we have never met or ever spoken apart from emails to and throw , it's kind of strange.
We natter a fair bit and are always visiting each others SC sites, usually I'm there to pinch all his tracks lol.
So what am I up to ? well , with Pauls blessing we are about to enter Two
of our tracks in the IAMA competition
( International acoustic music awards ) in Fort Lauderdale Florida and we'll see how that goes .
I've sounded out a number of outlets regarding publishing and again , we'll wait and see.
I'm also going back in the studio soon and I'm always working on something or another , the neighbours have got to the stage where they know the lyrics better than I do.
The album still looks to be on course for July 09 and I've been thrilled with the emails and good wishes I've had from around the World, I've even got my own unofficial fan club in Canada - Hi Cindy if you read this.
The material that I'm working on now , the finishing touches to the Album, will be a mixture of commercial pop and slightly more complex stuff. I think it will make the final product a bit more of an experience and not just a one trick pony.
Dont get me wrong I love all the upbeat stuff but that has to be balanced with some slightly more weighty material , It's like real life - high points and low points.
The material will again be recorded at Delta under the watchful eye of Julian Whitfield , who's input is crucial to the basic music tracks that I take there. His skills have added an extra dimension to the project - big thank you's there.
Hopefully , you'll be able to listen to the new stuff within a week or Two and I appologise in advance to people who have visited this site only to find nothing has changed for months. It's been hard to fit everything in and keep everything up to date.
Love you lots
Anna x
Recording : November 08
going to Delta Studios soon ,Delta has been established for about 12 years and is set in a serene area of Chartham, sheep and livestock everywhere.
Juilan who runs/owns the studio , has pushes me hard in terms of backing vocals and harmonies and is extremely talented , with a great ear for music. Hope to record at least Two tracks including :
" You already know " and " Watch over me as I sleep "
