It looks like the saga of Scandinavian pop princess Annie’s sophomore album, Don’t Stop, is coming to a logical end. After announcing a tracklist more than a year ago, the record was delayed. Then the singer parted ways with Island Records. Then the album got revamped. Then a couple new singles came out.
Now, finally, Don’t Stop will be ready for mass consumption November 17, via Oslo’s Smalltown Supersound, a label known more for out-there electronics and experimental jazz than sweet and sticky pop.
Web-savvy Annie followers may recognize most of the track names (listed below) from an early version of Don’t Stop that leaked last year– though recent singles including “I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me”, “Anthonio”, and “Two of Hearts” did not make the cut. (On the plus side, a track called “I Don’t Like Your Band” is included.) The record includes collaborations with Richard X, Timo Kaukolampi, Paul Epworth, Brian Higgins, and Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos. The new album cover, which you can see up at the top of this story, is incredible.
