Sydney songwriter and performer annelise recaptures the essence of RnB’s golden era, with the quickly catchy and distinct groove and tune of LIES.
Featuring cascading, meandering vocals, changes in pitch and tone throughout, LIES is built around a nostalgic pop set-up of heavy bass and beat combo, drawing similarities to the likes of the iconic Destiny’s Child, yet redirecting things for its breathy vocal fluidity, and the scornful subject matter at its core.
Openly inspired by the resilience of women and the strength required to rise above negativity, annelise encapsulates a sense of gritty confidence with LIES, and at the same time introduces a faultless vocal energy and flair, a twist of hip hop towards the end, and a fine ear for crafting memorable to anthemic RnB singles.
annelise notes a wide range of influences to her style, from Timbaland and Missy Elliott to Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. This organic re-emergence of timeless RnB is noteworthy as her own sound right now, and works well to redirect things in favour of a more varied mainstream.
