The London singer-songwriter and musician, Anna B Savage has today announced details of her second album in|FLUX which will be released on February 17th 2023 via City Slang. Along with the announcement she has shared the album’s title track, with a video directed by Irish filmmaker Rosie Barrett, and news of a string of live dates in the UK and Europe.
The press release advises that Anna B Savage has always asked questions in her music, but on the new album in|FLUX answers are no longer her quest. Vulnerability and curiosity have consistently been operative words to describe her work and on her second album, she ruminates on the complexities and variables of humanity, the pain or pleasure of love, loss and earthly connection, capturing it all in devastating, elating and powerful ways. The key difference between this and previous releases: she’s not anxious about what’s on the other side. She’s come to appreciate staying afloat – basking even – in the open-ended, uncertainty of the grey area.
To herald the release of in|FLUX Anna B Savage has shared with is the record’s imperious title track. Talking about the song, she says: “in|FLUX exemplifies the ‘flux’ as I see it between two seemingly disparate parts of me; my music, my mind and my creativity. The first half is a close, vulnerable and quiet start, full of introspection, vulnerabilities and a stilted inability to express something. From there, the song unfurls into a second half that is more certain, more vocal and expressive of self-assuredness. These feel like two states (along with everything in between, as well) that I inhabit simultaneously as dynamic and multifaceted emotional human.”
