Annie-Chewing Gum
hazim and the new asymptotes
hey. hazim here...again. I posted something about Mirah yesterday. Well. her voice sort of kinda reminds me of Annie. I really really dug her album Anniemal and the following album Dj Kicks. It was a bevy of electronica smash and Euro trance bits that kind of takes over like a maelstrom of blended genres in your eardrums, banging the tunes into your head 'til you can't even sleep without the song reverberating in your head. Yep, that was Anniemal, her debut album made after her hubby sadly passed away. Annie, the pop sprite from Norway, took over the dance charts and even got this song-the crowning glory of her debut- to appear on an episode of Grey's Anatomy. It's "Chewing Gum", and in it, she tells off herself, chewing and spitting out boys like bubblegum. The song, itself, is bubblegum pop so pure and obvious, a blind person could identify what genre it was. Too bad the Grammys always ignore artists like her. Who trusts them anymore? Especially after rewarding U2 with their undeserved Grammys for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. And their repulsive love of all things John Mayer.


Anyways, and how. The video is simple, but sexy. Her dancing is HOT! You'd definitely be watching her in a club (besides the fact that she's already an acoomplished DJ). She's got a new album called Don't Stop due out later this year. Supposedly, Girls Aloud was supposed to help her out on a track called My Love Is Better, but that track will be appearing without their vocals on it. Wait...wait...wait..the next post will give more details about her upcoming album, yeah? Hazim. Out.
