Woss on the Web

Given that my mostly unread gushings of support generally signal the end of a recording artist's career, I've been taking care not to talk too much about Norwegian popstrel Annie. My selfless restraint was finally rewarded last week when her much-delayed second album Don't Stop arrived on my doormat, and I can now spew forth torrents of hyperbolic praise safe in the knowledge that its release won't get cancelled and I can listen to it without having to spend ridiculous amounts of money obtaining a promotional copy off eBay (see the post about Captain for further details).

Best known in the UK for 2004's top 20 and in no way irritating semi-hit single Chewing Gum, she is more fondly remembered by the internet as the perky blonde genius behind 2005's top 50 and utterly amazing non-hit Heartbeat. CUE THREE MINUTES AND SIX SECONDS OF COMPLETE AURAL PERFECTION (and then a minute or so of complete silence to assist your return to the mediocrity of everyday existence)



The new album's quite good too, probably a 4/5 sort of affair.
