MUSIC NEWS - Anna Calvi’s self-titled debut, released early this month via Domino Records is an astonishingly confident and charismatic record that focuses on the unique strengths of her songwriting, incredible vocals and mastery of the fret board. With early positioning as one of 2011’s break out stars, Calvi most recently landed in the Sunday New York Times where her music was lauded as “…cinematic, larger than life. As Ms. Calvi sings about the overpowering forces of heavenly love and demonic passion, she can go from whisper to cataclysm in four minutes, and she regularly does.”
Anna Calvi has been praised across Europe as one of the most exciting new artists. Tours with Grinderman, Arctic Monkeys and Interpol gained her considerable, and deserved, attention. She'ss now set to make her USA live debut, with a nationwide spring tour that kicks off in Philadelphia, PA on May 23 with an intimate backing band that consists of Mally Harpaz on guitar, harmonium and percussion, and Daniel Maiden-Wood on drums.
Last week, Ms Calvi premiered her music video for Blackout, directed by Michael Baldwin. Check it out below-
