Don’t miss Anna of the North’s latest release ‘Here’s To Another, currently available via streaming channels. Serving as an unintentional ode to 2020, “Here’s To Another” is an anthem for reflecting on and letting go of all the negative in the past year. The nostalgic-sounding, melancholic but happy record sets the tone for a new era of Anna of the North. Pairing a steady yet euphoric beat with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that feel distinctly Anna but also fit the unified thought of “here’s to another year,” the Oslo-based artist is building her own colorful world of pop music and inviting us on the ride.
The visual acts as a fairytale story of sorts, in which Anna is ‘saved’ from the burdens in her life by a very furry & cute creature, and together they venture off into different portals of the past.
The singer confides. “‘Here’s To Another’ is one of my favorite songs that I’ve ever written. It’s very honest and the story of my life. It wasn’t intentional, but I think a lot of people can connect with the lyrics at the moment as we just put quite a strange and challenging year behind us. I can’t believe a whole year has passed living in these absurd pandemic times. I’ve probably worn the same 5 outfits for a year now, I don’t shower every day anymore, I can’t remember the last time I put on make-up… And the worst thing is is that I don’t really mind it all. So I’ve probably gone mad.”
This past summer, Anna won a Norwegian Grammy Award (Spellemannprisen), had a track synced to a Global iPad Pro Commercial (+ 2 Netflix shows), ‘opened’ for Katy Perry, & performed at the first-ever Zoomtopia – an eventful 2020 despite the circumstances. Anna also released her EP Believe last year (after Cher’s very own). Her track “Dream Girl” is featured in the recently released 3rd film in the trilogy ‘To All The Boys…Always & Forever’ – she’s the only artist featured in all three films & she had a viral moment when the track was featured in a global iPad Pro commercial. Out with a cinematic music video, the track leads the way to a 2021 Fall album.
