Annie announces new Endless Vacation EP, shares lead track "Cara Mia"
Norwegian electro-pop icon Annie returns with a stunning new single titled "Cara Mia" plus details of a brand new EP.
"Cara Mia" - roughly 'my beloved' in Italian - is a storming house-infused dance belter, with dreamy vocal hooks and smooth tropical beats.
Annie will release her Endless Vacation EP on 16 October via Pleasure Masters. She's produced it with frequent collaborator Richard X, and features contributions from Jim Eliot (Kylie, Foxes), Stefan Storm (The Sound Of Arrows), and Hannah Robinson (Ladyhawke, Say Lou Lou).
It follows one-off protest track "Russian Kiss" from early last year. Annie last released a studio record in 2009 - Don't Stop - although she did release an EP in 2013.
