Ana Mae releases new download single "Hanging Around"
Following on from the release of “I Can’t Tolerate You” on Valentine’s day, Ana Mae releases new single “Hanging Around”. The brand new track will be available as a free download from 18th May 2009 from www.anamae.net.
Hanging Around is another up beat pop tune from the Lisburn songstress telling the tale of an unhappy girl, sick of hanging about the same old miserable town and finally deciding to do something about it!
“We’ve tried to progress our sound a bit more on this new single” says Ana, “My brother/bass player John produced it and I finally got to use my new black Telecaster on this track, it’s very Chrissie Hynde looking! I’m really happy with the way it turned out.”
Ana Mae and her band the 4.4.2s have gigged throughout the country, released a couple of low key EP’s at gigs and have been receiving great reviews wherever they play. Ana’s last single “I Can’t Tolerate You” was played by BBC Radio 1 NI, BBC Across The Line and BBC Electric Mainline. BBC ATL were so impressed they recorded and broadcast a live session with Ana and her band in March.
Brought up listening to her Dad’s Pretenders and Blondie albums Ana Mae is also often compared to Nina Persson from The Cardigans. She also names Annie Lennox, Kim Wilde and Sheryl Crow as major influences.
“Hanging Around” will be backed by an acoustic unplugged version of “Marry Me”. Please visit anamae.net for more information, gig listings, photos and contact info.
"Songs such as Marry Me and Stay are ready-made radio hits" - AU Magazine .
"They are a great looking band with Ana Mae looking for all the world like a young Chrissie Hynde" - BBC Northern Ireland.
"Lazy beats, countrified hooks, and memorable melodies beautifully sung by the equally beautiful Ana Mae" - AU Magazine .
"this band could produce something worthwhile." - BBC Northern Ireland.
