New York City has breathed new life, and taking center stage with poise beyond her years is 17yr old Annamaria, on the heels of her latest release “Affection” (now available via iTunes, Spotify, Amazon & more), NYC based Singer/Songwriter – Annamaria – is getting ready to hit the ground running as she continues to conquer the NYC music scene and beyond! The Brooklyn, NY native is making all the proper noise with this great new pop, R&B soul laden single to send her onward and upward. Tori Kelly, Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Demi Lovato, and Christina Aguilera fans will enjoy this fabulous new song.
Teaming with producer/singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eren Cannata (son of Billy Joel saxophonist Richie Cannata), she has been writing and producing music and doing it with the help of her manager who knows how to pick from the cream of the proverbial crop. This young singer has a distinctively powerful yet laid back and smooth voice, and that helps her move between the soulful R&B to pop sounds with cleverly added precision beats. The mix is so evenly on target you could hear a pin drop anywhere if it were to. These qualities are getting harder to come by, but in case they’ve created a slam dunk.
The track starts off with some lovely soft keyboard chords, and the song builds on that behind her voice which completely demands your undivided attention. The attention factor brings the “Affection” she’s looking for as the words tell the story of what the song means. As the track wears on it doesn’t matter who it’s about, it matters how you relate to it in your own way. This is something that you have-to hear above and beyond describing it can reveal concerning the words, but it’s of universal hit proportion. This should span the globe and entice for more on a full album release to surely come.
Her voice goes from rich low registered tone to high pitched perfection when called for in the song, and it’s the most captivating thing about the song. She leads the whole thing with an effortless finesse that comes out like a one-take in the studio. It breathes a live feel that most pop music doesn’t have. It’s both personal and not at the same time, as she sings about her own experience anyone can understand from her perspective or their own. These ingredients are often lost on much of today’s radio, and it harks back to when it was a much better scene. This comes from surrounding herself with seasoned musicians.
It’s all about being together and staying that way when fate always has other plans. Going with the flow is where the vibes her voice and the music take you, it’s beautifully and carefully written for the masses. It’s like an open book as much as a song, but that’s an opinion only arrived at with recommended repeat listens. It’s a mellow track but not a full- on ballad, just very easy to listen to and get into everything it has to offer. That’s the making of a hit song without it sounding contrived, and that’s another asset to Annamaria’s music. There’s nothing else to be, except enormously satisfied.
