Description
Anna Leone has always been something of an introvert. Raised in a hushed suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, Anna spent most of her time immersed in video games and comic books. It wasn't until her early teens that she discovered music as a way of dealing with emotions, and as a result, idled away hours playing cover songs on her mother's acoustic guitar. Eventually she moved on to writing her own lyrics and compositions. The songs she has been quietly crafting since high school were all solo, secretive endeavours. Delicate, soaring acoustic songs mostly "about relationships, and primarily about the relationship you have with yourself."
On her stirringly vulnerable debut EP "Wandered Away" Anna Leone's raspy vocal floats above uplifting chords, melancholy yet hopeful. The EP was produced by Bryan Wilson, the GRAMMY-nominated producer, engineer and mixer who's worked with the likes of Florence + The Machine, Wolf Alice, Arctic Monkeys, Stormzy and Lianne La Havas. And with references including Bob Dylan, Lana Del Rey, Bon Iver and Laura Marling, Anna Leone has successfully developed her own magnetizing take on the singer-songwriter genre; one that has set her in place as one of 2018's most promising breakthroughs.
For Leone, the fantastical art she loves to indulge in is all about escaping, and big, existential questions. But in her own music her aim is only for "people to connect to the music, to feel something." Her subject matter may come from being alone but her songs pierce you so directly they'll remind you that you never really are.
