Listen to Annie Wells

“On each song, Annie Wells finds a new way to surprise her listeners. She stays cool, never using more volume than she needs. The passion doesn’t jump out at you; Wells asks you to look into the music and find it on your own. Easily bored by pop conventions, she screens her own songs for predictable melodic, rhythmic, or harmonic structures until they hold her interest from beginning to end. Wells messes around with a piano with idiosyncratic confidence, challenging the listeners to rethink the definition of a pop song.”

- H. B. Ward
