Anna Thoresen is unquestionably one of the most exciting new artists around. Based in Los Angeles, the singer/songwriter and producer glided into my sonic orbit last year with her velvety and soulful RnB masterpiece ‘MARY JANE’. Then came ‘DEAR SOULMATE’, a tune that showcased Anna’s ability to seamlessly shift genres, as she leaned into more upbeat, indie-pop territory. I was instantly on board with her artistry, and today, I’m proud to introduce you to ‘LONELY’, the musician’s raw and potent new single.
A powerful declaration of Anna’s authenticity and musical prowess, ‘LONELY’ could serve as a turning point in the artist’s sonic career. “This marks the first time I feel I’m being fully honest in my music, and I’m very excited about this new chapter,” she says.
Genre-wise, the track is a toughie to pin down. It’s rocky and filled with soul, but also leaves enough space for Thoresen’s truly magic vocal performance to shine. Turning to the likes of Joan Jett, Tina Turner, and Stevie Knicks for inspiration, Anna’s unique blend of grit and grace evokes the timeless spirit of rock’s greatest icons.
Personally, it’s Thoresen’s vocals that have completely blown me away when it comes to her latest single. They’re simply spellbinding, and I can’t wait to hear from her again!
