To be honest, we fell in love with somegirlnamedanna’s new single “california”. This song is the perfect choice to put it on repeat for the whole day long. Without compliment her voice is a piece of heaven, it’s charmingly pure on her catchy and original lyrics. The song comes with a beautiful music video that definitely would give you a wonderful experience. Her vocal performance is elegant and professional and the atmosphere of this record is unique. We have enjoyed listening to this song until the last second and we are totally hooked.
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
On “california,” somegirlnamedanna opens up to say, “Distance and love combined is such a difficult thing. “california” is about being separated by thousands of miles, and wanting to be with someone, but it just isn’t even close to reality. I wrote this from a place of hope, almost a dream state wanting something that doesn’t feel realistic.”
She continues about the music video, “I wanted the video to really feel like a dream, you get these flashes of someone you want and you have no idea where they are or what they are doing. Are they thinking of you at the same time you are thinking of them? There is a little mystery to all of it.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Let’s make this clear. somegirlnamedanna is not a brand. It is not an image. It is not an alter ego. Instead, it is the story of Anna, “a girl with a name like all of us are.” Born and raised in a remote area of Minnesota, her imagination flourished without television or social media. An antique grand piano in the living room called to her as she repeated melodies and jingles from the radio by ear as a young child. While painting in the kitchen, mom played classics by Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, and Tori Amos fueling her daughter’s love for music and the arts, in general. At the same time, she developed a knack for poetry and writing short stories at school, combining the two in songwriting eventually. Balancing college and bartending four nights a week, she spent countless hours in the studio writing and recording demos as well as developing her voice. After one listen to these early demos, LAVA Founder Jason Flom personally signed her in 2019. That brings us to her debut single “hello i am” available everywhere.
