DEBUT SINGLE - WASNOTWAS
RELEASED ON 15th JUNE ON THE LAB.
MySpace
A spanking electro beat, cut loose and filled with the youthful soul voice of Anni T, wasnotwas is released on 15th June on The Lab.
Amid the current wave of electro-pop pretenders, no artist wields the knife with such sultry, heartfelt originality as KiD A. Instant pop hooks, unmistakably personable vocals and scratchy uncluttered arrangements; everything you ever loved about pop music, laid out in one proverbial buffet of awesome.
Anni T - the 20 year old singer/composer/producer behind KiD A - is an accidental popstar from Chesapeake, Virginia (US). Raised on jazz as a child, by her teens she was blaring out the likes of Brian Eno and The Cure, before stumbling across her unconsciously seductive vocals... "I was in a band at school, and we needed a singer. We all chose straws. Mine was the shortest of them all."
She dropped into the UK late last year to complete the recording of her debut EP with Brit-hop beatsmith dan le sac. The EP - In A Dream House, We All Ride Carousels - is set for release here later this summer.
wasnotnas arrives as taster for that EP, just as KiD A lands in Europe for show’s at The Social in London on 19th May, and at Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon on 23rd May.
