Annique Live 'Lady Wonder' Album Launch

with support of Louise Golbey

Event Has Passed

Last Show: Friday 19 th October 2018

PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)

Following her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Heads Up’, this spring saw Annique collaborate with world famous brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia on single ‘Walk On’. It’s now time to make way for follow up album 'Lady Wonder', and where better to do so than PizzaExpress, Holborn. 'Lady Wonder' combines Chopin-esque waltz’ with ‘60s pop and cinematic, nostalgic landscapes - once again embracing an eclectic range of instruments and sounds from ukulele and accordion, to the reception desk bell. Balancing the emotion of each song with her own honest charisma and humour, an Annique performance will leave the listener enthralled and captivated.

"Annique proves herself a sharp eyed lyricist with a tender, seductive voice, igniting a raft of deep-toned torch songs from modern-day London with her mix of soulfulness, eclectic jazz and world influences." Tim Cumming (The Guardian)

Louise Golbey: "This...young singer takes it up a notch with...a whole heap of sassy soulfulness...definitely something worthwhile here and her endearing personality should put a smile on most people’s faces!" Blues & Soul
