Intense, stirring and exuberantly emotional while being minimal and restrained, Annie Anna’s powerful piece that is “Drowning” so powerfully encapsulates and captures the feeling of being trapped and suffocated by someone else’s control. With intense and dynamic instrumentation, a uniquely distinct blend of dark acoustic minimalism alongside a more pronounced electric guitar, there’s a strange and foreboding tension that builds through the track.
Anna’s vocals are so expressive and raw, perfectly conveying the sheer angst and downright rage that comes to the fore when you’re stuck in these situations that feel helpless and downright oppressive. Hauntingly beautiful and capturing an emotion that’s particular yet universal to most of us at some point or the other, this is one ride that takes you down a journey you might not want to embark on.
