Up-and-coming Songwriter and Singer Annie J Shakes Things Up in The World of Pop

Up-and-coming songwriter and singer Annie J shakes things up in the world of pop with her timely, powerful and pertinent new release.

An industry often criticised for being too male dominated has seen a flourish of ambitious and talented women take centre stage and Annie J is no exception. Her talent has already made her a recognisable figure in the world of pop.

It is highly unlikely that die-hard fans of pop, especially those that keep track of new artists, have not heard of up-and-coming star Annie J, who unearths her pertinent, timely statement on the prevalence of assault in the form of her newest song: The Girl Who Cried Wolf this Friday 25th June. Her new lyrical masterpiece is a fresh warning and optimistic invitation to confront any predatory behavior, hence the use of ‘wolf’ as a metaphor.

Annie J hopes that along with inspiring and empowering female audiences of all ages, the message also transcends beyond all gender boundaries and anyone facing harassment can gather up the courage to come forward and act. Annie J is a familiar face and voice to many – recently featuring in the New Zealand PopStars Top 20, with five original singles to her name (garnering over one hundred thousand Spotify streams), she’s performed with the New Zealand Opera and has won at New Zealand National Arias.

Annie J, is working with Women’s Refuge, with all proceeds from pre-orders of her song donated to their ‘Safe Night’ campaign.
