Alan Braxe has teamed up with the Norwegian pop singer Annie for a new track, ‘Never Coming Back’. It’s set to appear on the forthcoming reissue of his 2005 compilation The Upper Cuts, which arrives March 31 via Smugglers Way. Take a listen below.
“I first met Annie virtually, just listening to her vocals as I was remixing her song ‘Heartbeat’ in 2005,” Braxe said in a press release. “I could hear in her voice both softness and strength and I found it very touching. Since then I always thought that we should work on a song one day. Last year, I sent her an instrumental demo and when she then told me that she was up for it, we recorded the vocals in Bergen, Norway, and chose the theme of escaping a problematic relationship and regaining freedom.”
Annie added: “I’ve been such a fan of Alan Braxe and the universe of French house for years, and to me it’s the ultimate party music… takes me to the best place every time I listen to these ultimate classics. Years ago Alan B. did a brilliant remix of my own single ‘Heartbeat,’ so it was so fun to do a track together after all this time. ‘Never Coming Back’ is basically about someone getting out of a toxic relationship. Tired of the past, looking for the future, and this time you’re finally on your own and ready for something new.”
