Indie-pop singer and songwriter Anna Shoemaker shares her new single, âItâs Depression (ft. Middle Part),” out now on +1 Records.
âItâs Depressionâ arrives on the heels of âSick!,â the first single to be released from Annaâs forthcoming debut album due out in early 2022. With these new songs, Anna is breaking out of the bedroom pop world into a more mature and intentional sound, writing her feelings as though you’ve lived them alongside her.Â
Listen to "It's Depression"
âItâs Depressionâ is a collaboration between Anna and Brooklyn-based musician Middle Part, who has been credited on many of Anna's previous tracks and often performs in her live band. âMiddle Part and I similarly overthink a lot of things and, to me, thatâs kind of what this is about," she says. "It's an anxiety attack in a song." It's a bold and anthemic song, swelling with infectious guitar riffs, heavy-hitting percussion and an irrepressible chorus destined to be sung by future crowds: âTell me that you want me back and Iâll stop over thinking everything I do and all I say to you / Itâs not really what I had in mind! / All I want is someone to love and I donât know why I always fuck everything that I do and all I say to you / Itâs not really what I had in mind!â
Described by NYLON as âBrooklynâs own Olivia Rodrigo,â Anna Shoemaker is making her mark as the next indie-pop darling to watch. Combining alt-leaning production, intoxicating pop melodies and notably honest lyricism, her songs capture the turmoil, charm and introspection of young adulthood. Originally hailing from Philadelphia, she first made her mark by releasing a viral mashup of Kendrick Lamarâs âBitch Donât Kill My Vibeâ and Chance the Rapperâs âCocoa Butter Kisses” right from her bedroom floor. She has released 2 EPs since – âEast Sideâ (2018) and âEverything Is Embarrassingâ (2020) – as well as a handful of standout singles. Anna is now preparing to release her debut album in early 2022 via +1 Records.
