Anna Straker: Ignite Me
At times artists merely bring into prominence again the ever-fresh display of their undeniable vocal talent and production prowess. With "Ignite Me," a spoken word piece with left-of-center trip hop hues, London's own synth studded Anna Straker does just that.
Following a busy year with debut festival appearances at The Great Escape, Glastonbury on the Sonic Stage and her first international tour in Japan, and still basking in the widespread support for her Serious EP, Anna has us on the edge of our seat ready to witness her next string of moves.
“Ignite Me is a little bit different to my other songs, so it’s been really cool to experiment with a more hip-hop influenced sound. The lyrics are about going out to a club and feeling like you don’t belong, everything’s a bit gross and you’re really aware of what’s happening around you. I really enjoyed writing the poetry for the verses, turning the dismal and melancholy aspects of night clubbing into something beautiful.”
