notes

Annie Marleau has a fresh and unique sound, which sets her apart from other female artists today. Her engaging voice immediately draws in her listeners and her hauntingly sensual vocal delivery is versatile enough to cut through a pounding guitar riff or float over a quiet ballad. Distinctive influences of singer/songwriters Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow can be heard in her style, but make no mistake she is clearly paving her own road. With all melodies and lyrics written by Annie, her debut album Alive has signalled the arrival of an unmistakable new voice in pop-rock music.

Annie's music has been described as "unique indie pop material with a strong adult contemporary influence". Her songs have passion, power and range and her lyrics are intelligent with deep meaningful messages. She has a natural talent for creating songs with catchy melodies and memorable hooks that linger in your mind long after you've heard them. When asked to describe her own personal writing process, Annie describes it as “a feeling she has about something or someone close to her heart which then evolves into a melody or lyrics and eventually into a song". She takes a heartfelt, introspective and spiritual approach when writing the majority of her lyrics and music. While other times, she writes songs such as Addicted and Move On, just for the fun of it. Many of her lyrics are story driven, which give them real impact and leave her listeners with something they can identify with.

Annie’s debut CD Alive was released on January 11, 2006. Her single Addicted has been receiving much attention, and has been in the number one spot on the IAC (Independent Artists Company) Alternative Pop Rock charts for the past 4 weeks.

  • Becoming addict
    author: Luc

    I first had samples from her Myspace page. then i needed more. Now i finally received the cd, and i can't stay long without listening again and again. That's an addiction by the ears.

  • Fresh Sound lights fires!
    author: John H. Pieper

    The music is fresh, vivbrant, and kicks it into your head. Be careful, you may find yourself trying to get into singing the lyrics yourself---but leave that to the Lady! Enjoyed it over and over already.

    author: Lela

    i think it is a great cd. the songs are well written and this cd is what made me such a big fan of the singer. my favorite song on there is alone, it pretty much tells the exact story of my last break up; so i can deinitely relate.

  • Absolutely Awesome!

    author: Rob Videtto

    I discovered Annie on Myspace through one of my friends. Her Voice and beauty immediately drew me in. The songs are great,her voice is angelic, full of emotion with strong arrangments behind her(but not over produced). A very refreshingly simple sound. I really like ALL the tunes on this disc. i have had this cd in my car's player since i got it and played it almost nonstop since then. also loaded onto my ipod as well so i can get my fix of annie any time! i really hope she breaks big someday!!! and a great person too!!!

  • Wow.....I like it!!!!
    author: Dave Carnes

    Great CD Annie! The first track got me all jammed up! Love it!

  • Simply wonderful!
    author: Derek

    Annie Marleau delivers an album filled with expressive human emotion and great music. The opening bars of the lead off track Addicted will hook you, and from there you will be treated to ten tracks of simply wonderful music accompaning great songwriting of longing, joy, pain, and hope of relationships. The end track Vanity is a wake-up call to those wanting to physically stand out in a visual world that seems to demand people to not be true to themselves. A great accomplishment!

    With one of the freshest sounds to come from Canada, the cd Alive is perfect timing to hit the music scene.

  • Great CD
    author: Mike

    Each song is different and refreshing, there is a little bit of something for everyone. It is easy to find yourself singing along to the CD. This is one CD you can listen to for hours on end and never get sick of it. This CD is a must have.

  • Read the notes, they're not just hot air!
    author: Andrew J Johnstone

    This is a fine, well structured collection of intelligent, well crafted rock songs mixed with a little pop, a little funk, a little anthemic stadium ... beautifully produced. From emotive mellow, to bright and biting there's something tasty for every palate. At just over 36 minutes it could be considered a little short, but its definitely sweeet!

  • WOW!!!
    author: Emily

    Annie Marleau is a phenomenal artist! Her beautiful vocals will completely amaze you and her music is original and unique. This CD is a must have for anyone who appreciates great music.

  • Easy to get into and addicting
    author: Alan Smith

    This Cd starts on strong, pulling you close and not letting you leave without a tune finding it's way deep into your head, personally I listened to this album for the first time while I was working, and yes, from the first second I could not get the songs out of my head, I even took to singing Hypnotized to the customers it was that memorable, it really is hard to find one single favourite track, the entire Cd is so strong, but I would have to shyly point in the direction of Alone, a great addition to my collection, I would encourage people to consider finding room for it in their own. -Silent
