>All signs point to Dark Hearts being her most ambitious offering, especially based on the vast array of descriptions of upcoming songs from the album announcement alone: “On ‘Corridors Of Time', Annie tells the story of a dancefloor in a theatre, empty except for an old couple dancing together and a young girl dancing alone, inspired by Annie’s uncle who was sick at the time of writing. Equally pivotal and reflective is ‘The Streets Where I Belong’, written prior to leaving her adoptive Berlin and returning to her childhood home of Bergen.
>Memories of her teenage years are explored in ‘Forever ’92,’ a song about a boyfriend Annie dated in those messy teenage years. ‘I was the worst teenager, you wouldn’t want me in your house. I was very sweet and looked innocent, but I was such a nightmare.’ The album’s title track – ‘the album’s most disco moment’ is about family relations. ‘When you grow up, your history always follows you,’ Annie says of the song. ‘You can try to change something or break free, but it doesn’t change, it stays with you.'”
>“I still don’t know exactly where I belong, but I know I belong somewhere,” she adds.
