Rising artist and trance vocalist Annabel chatted with Digital Journal’s Markos Papadatos about being a part of Gareth Emery’s « The Lasers » album.
« It was such an incredible experience, » she said about working with Gareth Emery on The Lasers album. « Gareth is a huge inspiration and such a pro at what he does, so it was an honour to be the solo vocalist on the whole album. We had great fun recording it and I loved chatting to him about the backstories behind each song. »
« The lyrics are so personal to him, which makes the album immediately sentimental, but within each of those songs and each of those situations, is something that everyone can relate to in their lives, » she said.
« It was so exciting watching the album come together, » she exclaimed. Some highlights for me were shooting the music video for ‘You’ll Be OK’ and performing in his ‘Unplugged’ concert alongside all the other amazing artists who took part. I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s response to the album and I hope everyone continues to love it as much as Gareth and I do. »
« Working with a legend like Gareth and being the solo vocalist on The Lasers is definitely one of the most exciting projects I’ve been involved with so far, » she added.
On her personal favorite songs on The Lasers album, she said, « ‘End of Days’ is definitely up there as one of my favourites on the album. It’s so hard choosing one as there are so many brilliant songs on there. If I had to pick one, it’d have to be ‘Gunshots’ because the lyrics are so powerful, and the music gives off such a haunting vibe. When I first heard the demo, I had goosebumps everywhere and I couldn’t wait to record it. When I finally got to hear the final version a couple of months later, I fell in love with the track all over again. »
« It’s also more relevant than ever at a time like this with all the madness going on in the world right now, which gives the track a whole new layer of depth.
