Upcoming artist Annabel Gutherz is a singer-songwriter hailing from Montreal, Canada. Growing up in a family that encouraged exploring the arts, Annabel has always been in tune with her creative spirit. As a teen, she began composing original music and lyrics as a vehicle to work through the growing pains of adolescence. Now, at the age of 23, Annabel has come into her own as an exciting young artist on the rise. Annabel ended last year with the release of her debut album, Loose Ends, a stylistically eclectic yet entirely authentic record that cathartically encapsulates life’s unfinished moments: “Many times in my life, I was unable to get closure. Instead, I was left to bear the weight of the words I never said and the inescapable memories that tethered me to my past, suspending time. Understanding my need to let go of these ‘loose ends,’ I turned to song,” she says. The album was co-produced by Dominique Messier, a long-time band member for Céline Dion and owner of Studio Piccolo in Montreal, Quebec. Annabel is a compelling storyteller; her lyrics are diaristic and perspective, instantly drawing you into her world. Combined with her honeyed melodies, distinct vocals, and keen musical ear, Annabel’s songs take listeners on a heartfelt journey packed with raw honesty and emotional conviction. With over 60K monthly Spotify listeners and praise from tastemakers like PopWrapped, CelebMix, and Stage Right Secrets, it’s clear that Annabel is an artist with an exceedingly bright future. With the release of her newest single “Retrograde”, she projects a vibrant sound that will surely intrigue your ears. Beginning with bright instrumentation leading onto her sweet and ear-catching vocals she captures the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about how she noticed a shared sentiment amongst her friends, family, and her in the wake of the pandemic — a feeling of stagnation in their respective ambitions and pursuits, or worse, a sense of retrogression. Upon having an insightful conversation with her mom, who seems to have a blueprint of life’s greatest lessons, she came to the understanding that no one is ever stagnant. We are always learning, growing, and moving forward as a result… In other words, we are ‘never in retrograde.’ To the vocals and production, this single will definitely have you jamming out. Being just perfect for a day out on the beach or taking a drive during sunset. Go stream “Retrograde”.
