专辑介绍

by Andy Kellman

In 1999, Annie and her boyfriend/producer, Erot, made a slippery-sexy single called &The Greatest Hit.& Though it came out of Norway, it sounded more than a little American, sampling Madonna's &Everybody& while also echoing the nonchalant ecstasy of Patrice Rushen's &Forget Me Nots.& It didn't take off, at least not in the traditional sense. It floated around the underground, saw release on labels in different territories, and eventually became a pseudo-secret smash. Within a couple years, dancers and DJs in a few countries began to wonder what became of Annie. Erot's life was claimed by a heart defect in 2001; his partner, quite understandably, went quiet for a while. She picked herself up, took a very active role in the Bergen, Norway, music community, and recorded Anniemal with production help from Richard X, Röyksopp, and Op:L Bastards' Timo Kaukolampi. &The Greatest Hit,& thankfully reprised here, is indicative of the album as a whole, bursting with sparkling melodies (often spiked with just a hint of melancholy) over mostly danceable rhythms that are either wholly modern or mischievously referential to early-'80s club hits (Tom Tom Club, the Human League, Arthur Russell's Dinosaur L). Annie's voice might be a little thin, but that's no real factor when it's so sweet and likable. The topics -- teasing, aching, longing -- aren't unfamiliar, yet they're often dealt with in a clever manner. Take &Chewing Gum,& in which a dumped boy gets sort of objectified and verbally slain at the same time (&You think you're chocolate when you're chewing gum&), or &The Greatest Hit,& containing the most foolproof come-on you could ever give a record geek (&C'mon, baby, you're my greatest hit&). As cunning as it is, Anniemal is also deeply affecting. &Heartbeat& is the least resistible of all, glowing with anticipatory pulses, tremulous sighs, and quivering electric piano vamps.
