Anna Calvi shares pensive new single "The Hunter"

Having announced her third album with lead single "Don't Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy", Anna Calvi returns with the second single and title-track "The Hunter".

Speaking about the new track, Calvi explains it's based around, "exploring a more subversive sexuality, which goes further than what is expected of a woman in our patriarchal heteronormative society.”

On her third album, Calvi explores themes surrounding gender and stereotypes, as she explains that The Hunter is a form of self-expression that's, " free from the story that either gender is given, free from worrying how people would judge me on what I want to do with my body and myself. For me, that’s quite a utopian vision.”

The Hunter is produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Grinderman) at Konk Studios in London with some further production in LA. Hunter was recorded with Anna's band - Mally Harpaz on various instruments and Alex Thomas on drums.

The recording process even welcomed the addition of Adrian Utley from Portishead on keys and Martyn Casey from The Bad Seeds on bass.

Anna Calvi recently performed a one-off show at London's Heaven, which Best Fit managed to capture. Calvi is currently on tour and returns to London's Roundhouse on 7 February 2019. Find out more.
