From playing local pubs in Guildford 6 nights a week, to acclaimed performances around the world, it’d be tempting to call Annabel Allum’s rise a whirlwind. However to do so would belie the steady growth and legwork put in by one of the UK’s most exciting

up-and-comers.

 

From single to single Annabel has evolved and added exciting extra facets to her trademark punky sound. Upcoming release You Got It Good, out via cult

London label Killing Moon, is the latest peak in her canon of vital,

snarling songs.

A common theme throughout her releases is the ease with which tracks boiling over with righteous anger can sit side by side with touchingly sentimental tracks dedicated to friends and family. You Got It Good, with its bouncy 90s style treads that tightrope

with aplomb. Annabel explains the origins of the track:

"I wrote this song after a friend came to me in a very low state. This is the conversation I had with them. Sometimes we need to go through hardship to grow as people, and understand

ourselves & the world around us better. To adapt

& learn from negative situations allows us to

appreciate life more."

Long marked out as one to watch, the swell of praise for Annabel Allum from all corners is resounding. Long-time championed by BBC Radio 1, she’s made the daytime playlist, had a live session at the iconic Maida Vale studios as well as performing on their SXSW stage, a festival which she’s now taken by storm twice.

 

Other notable shows include a dream-come-true emotional performance at Reading festival, as well as The Great Escape; tours with Nadine Shah, Sleeperand Beth Ditto have been the perfect way to cut her teeth in the

presence of esteemed artists.

Beyond music Annabel keeps a well maintained, genuine aesthetic – this has lead to deals with indie clothing companies Bastien Classics and Cheap Monday. She has

also had acoustic tracks included in feature film Spaceship (BFI, BBC).

You Got It Good is the first single taken from a new 6-track EP, set for an autumn release.

 

Recorded with Adrian Hall (Goldfrapp, Anna Calvi, Du Blonde) it promises to be the most comprehensive example of her sound and style to date. In support of the release Annabel will be taking in various festivals as well as her own headline

tour.

You Got It Good by Annabel Allum is out May 15th via Killing Moon.
