The Artist
‘Turning of the Year’ is the lead single from Anne-Marie Sanderson’s forthcoming debut album, Old Light. Six years on from her last release, the EP ‘Book Songs Vol. 1’, Sanderson opens a new chapter by offering both an invitation and a manifesto: ‘It’s time to set a new intention, focus our attention / Follow this breath to its full potential...’.
‘Old Light’, in addition to being Sanderson’s first full-length album, is both musically and thematically her most diverse release yet. Touching on themes of nature, personal growth, and ancestral wisdom, the album is also rich in musical scope, paying homage to diverse influences from folk, pop and jazz. The end result is a signature sound crafted with care in Anne-Marie’s home studio, where she took on the roles of multi-instrumentalist, arranger, recording engineer and producer.
In an age where attention is spread thin and our focus seems constantly blurred by peripheral darkness, Sanderson’s songs seek out glimmers of hope and create space for them to shine. There is an understated authority to her work and an irresistible inevitability to its emotional momentum. Each note and every word is significant, an essential part of the greater whole. Or to borrow from the album’s soulful second single ‘"If’, “everything has got its right place / everything has got its right time / and everything has got a balance / and everything will work out fine.”
Press for Anne-Marie's previous release, ‘Book Songs Vol. 1’: “a gloriously wide vista of astonishing grown-up tales which both fascinate and delight – the overall result, complex and immersive, is mesmerising... A bold, unusual and most beautifully constructed body of work.” - Tap the Feed Magazine
“thoroughly atmospheric” - Northern Sky
“Her performance is seemingly effortless, underpinned by great technical skill and sensitive use of modern technology to wrap the listener in her meticulously crafted soundscapes.” - Fatea Magazine
