Norwegian popster Annie has returned with her first album in ten years.
‘Dark Hearts’ is described by Annie as “the soundtrack to a film that doesn’t exist”, and will arrive on 16th October, preceded by are single ‘American Cars’.
Of the song, she adds: “It was partly inspired by the David Cronenberg film Crash. It was 2pm and the only other people in the cinema were two old men, a mum and her screaming baby, and sixteen-year-old me. It was quite a strange experience. The film is about pushing it to the edge. When you’re looking for something dark you don’t necessarily know why you’re doing it. But you’re pushing the boundaries. You can fall, or almost fall, but you climb back.”
