“Alegría” is the new album by Anni B Sweet

The new album of Anni B Sweet It is a physical and mental reset. A return that the artist needed as much as breathing. “Happiness” It represents an end to a dark and painful stage in Ana’s life. A piece of gratitude to the music that managed to activate her again and make her see that not everything was darkness. A raw and honest letter to make peace with the past and better understand who you are Anni B Sweet in the present, with its new dreams and its wounds.

The album develops through a love for Brazilian music, tropicalia, sixties psychedelia and seventies pop. “Happiness” He owes everything to Gal Costa, but also to Juan Perro or Caetano Veloso. Anni B Sweet He tries to capture in this album that movement, that warm dance that his references poured into the songs despite narrating complex situations. Use joy as a connecting element to achieve freedom and expose a reality that took her to unimaginable limits.

Produced by James Bagshaw (Temples), Ana digs into her memories as a form of catharsis, letting the poison out. And he does so by turning to surrealism and magical realism after intense readings of Breton or Juan Rulfo. Facing dragons, hurricanes or exhibiting chaos by connecting heaven and earth (“I don’t find it funny”). Santiago Auserón appears as a luxury collaboration in “Everything’s fine” to tell Ana that “sing and don’t be silent”. And he is not the only one, since Tulsa is also seen by “Happiness” grabbing her hand and pushing her to fly in “In my oblivion”. A natural closing of the album before that alternative closing with “I hope dancing” that takes stock and presents a clear image of Anni B Sweet happy, independent and dancing no matter who is watching her at that moment.
