Synth Single Review: “Back” by Anniee

by Karl Magi

Anniee’s “Back” reverberates with her voice melting above a steadily driving dance beat before the full strength of her resonant performance echoes with ardent memories of ferocious attraction as the beat accelerates while strings sing. Pizzicato violins trickle like raindrops while the exhaled vocals gleam as though caught in post storm sunlight and the drum beat pounds like a passionate heart.

Strings dance and shimmer while Anniee blends effortless smoothness with undeniable need. Her voice echoes briefly into wind and the skipping beat intermingles with violins which create glowing embers before the vocals chant and drift, gripping me and pulling me closer to the music before silence falls.

Back when the other person loved our storyteller, she said she was "steppin’ in sunshine, dancin’ in rain, touchin’ the moonlight, goin’ insane.” She wonders where all of the real madness went and why it left. She concludes, “what would I give to go back when you loved me.”
