Norwegian pop princess Annie will finally release her long-awaited sophomore effort Don’t Stop on independent label Smalltown Supersound.
Five years in the making, Don’t Stop was plagued by complications from the start: a leaked version of the album appeared online in 2008, and the singer left her long-time label Island last November, as they were reluctant to give Don’t Stop a release date.
Don’t Stop’s guest artists are Girls Aloud, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Richard X and Fredrick Saroea of Datarock, with producers Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Friendly Fires), Timo Kaukolampi and Xenomania (Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys). Now that all the Scandinavian water’s under the bridge, we’re excited for another serving of pop perfection from Annie.
Annie will be releasing Don’t Stop on October 19 in Europe and November 17 in the USA. A bonus CD will also be included with the album, with several outtakes and promotional singles.
