Anna Rose – “Electric Child” [SoundCloud Song Stream]

The Skinny: Fierce velvet-voiced rock ‘n roll soul child Anna Rose, who Magnet Magazine calls, “a singer/songwriter who brings to mind Tori Amos’ haunting vocals with a distinct ’70s vibe of a childhood immersed in music history,” streams her latest song, “Electric Child” from upcoming album Behold a Pale Horse. Coming off a Nylon Magazine video premiere for “Behold a Pale Horse,” the title track off of her upcoming album, Anna has been accepted to 2013 Canadian Music Week.

Anna, respected singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist has finished recording her sophomore album Behold a Pale Horse with the fantastic Kevin Salem (Rachel Yamagata, Lenka). This album is the follow up to her phenomenal 2010 debut Nomad. Citing influences such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and calling celebrated guitarist Arlen Roth her mentor, Anna proves that she comes from a place very different than the typical definition of female singer-songwriter. She is a true child of rock and roll, a self-taught musician who is one of today’s most dynamic performers. Her recent soulful, dark cover of the Arcade Fire’s “My Body Is a Cage.”
