Annie - Don't Stop

Review by David Renshaw

The inescapable feeling that Don’t Stop probably won’t sell all that many copies makes the songs sound like electric guitars without amplifiers. »

norwegian cool-pop postergirl annie throws down her brand new album 'don't stop' on smalltown supersound. a collection of sublime hooks stirred into a melting pot of blazing pop beats, singalong choruses and some odd, twisted darkness here and there 'don't stop' is the pop sound of now! 'don't stop' is annie's second album and highlights that she is right at the forefront of 2009's brilliantly varied musical landscape. it's an album that sounds both instantly catchy and utterly beguiling, mainstream and underground all at once. a totally independent and self-created artist, annie is a rare popstar - one who has written and created her own album - as well as personally assembling her own team, including her producers and musicians. complementing annie's pick 'n' mix, pitchfork-to-popjustice, genrehopping pincer movement are an array of handpicked associates: 'don't stop' reunites annie with timo kaukolampi and richard x - collaborators from her debut album - and introduces a host of new friends like paul epworth (bloc party, primal scream, florence and the machine), xenomania and franz ferdinand's alex kapranos. it's an twelve-course feast for the modern musical connoisseur, an effortless blend with annie centre stage.
