Today we’re proud to premiere the latest track from Anna Straker: Ignite Me.

Inspired by artists including James Blake, Blood Orange, The Streets and N.E.R.D., Anna blends soulful 90s inflected chords in the chorus with a compelling story in the verses.

 

Speaking on the track, Anna says:

“Ignite Me is a little bit different to my other songs, so it’s been really cool to experiment with a more hip-hop influenced sound. The lyrics are about going out to a club and feeling like you don’t belong, everything’s a bit gross and you’re really aware of what’s happening around you. I really enjoyed writing the poetry for the verses, turning the dismal and melancholy aspects of night clubbing into something beautiful.”
