Annie Eve

At only 21 years of age, Annie Eve has a mind and lyrical tongue that appears to be far older. This delicate and intelligent singer/songwriter appears humble yet troubled onstage, as you watch each pained verse really appear to resonate in her face.
Disjointed melody and instrumental similar to US art rockers Warpaint hum by whilst north Londoner Annie sings for lost love and heart ache on track such as 'Basement'. Whilst she takes on the folk tones of First Aid Kit on early EP track 'Elvis' as she croons helplessly into the darkness which can lift the hairs on every audience member's neck.
Her 2014 debut 'Sunday '91' includes brooding, momentous tracks such as 'Animal' which contrast her minimalistic, somber vocal with huge, guitar laced instrumental which shows the potential Annie has as an artist as these songs will be able to fill stadiums, let alone the smaller venues she is currently touring in the UK. The painful makes way for the jovial in the shape of 'August' yet the melodic, folk backing cannot shroud the sorrow in the lyrics and vocal.
Annie could be the UK's next star in melancholy pop after a steady run of artists such as Laura Marling, Daughter and London Grammar all found fame in this obscure genre. She has the vocal abilities and an ambitious first album that is assured to take her great places, already supporting the likes of Little Green Cars. I would highly recommend catching her in the intimacy of her latest UK tour whilst you still have the chance.
