‘Pearl’ is the new single from acclaimed newcomer Anne Lunoe. Her music is built on an expansive palette of influences, with big bass drums and even bigger bass lines showing off an appreciation for techno and garage, while the shimmering high synths and her distant lead vocal samples lean towards trance and dance-pop. “To me, the sentiment in this song is about fighting for your spirit and creative force in a world that isn't really designed for us to hold on to it,” she explains. “Sonically this was an exercise in emotion and clarifying a feeling as opposed to straight-up club-tune making - it's more sincere than I've allowed myself to be publicly before, but those few who get to hear my scruffy demos know this Anna well.” Anne Lunoe is releasing her debut album, also called Pearl, on October 25th, via NLV Records. You can also catch her live around the USA over the coming months. -Dan Peeke
