Too many posts about them now. We’ll get on the bandwagon in the next wave haha. Blonde beauties from the North. Perfect examples of gender problems dating back several hundred years: at least until the first Italian and English sonnets. The Other idealized until a point that it’s not really an other anymore cause it dissolves into nothing. There’s an interesting ambiguity concerning this image: it is as humiliating for women as it is graceful. Okay, enough of the feminist 20th-21st century bullshit. Who’s Annie? She’s a Norwegian pop diva born by the name: Anne Lilia Berge Strand. In 2004, her album Anniemal made quite a buzz and the song Heartbeat (video) was said to open a new era for girl pop icons. It didn’t really do the job but it was cute and beautiful in an acceptable romantic way and a couple hip electro guys started to pay attention and remix. MSTRKRFT, SebastiAn, Alan Braxe amongst others. 2008, new album is nearly here: Don’t Stop is gonna come out this month. It was preceded by I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me which (with remixes again) made a blog-fire. I don’t really expect anything but a cute girl making something more interesting and ecletic than the rest of them who are in the showbiz. Listen to I Can’t Let Go featuring another Norwegian singer: Fredrik Saroea from Datarock. This song is like electro-pop Kills. Posted some older remixes as well.
