Anna Calvi
One Breath
Domino Records
4.1/5
British singer, songstress, and primo guitar slinger Anna Calvi delivers to the fullest on her sophomore release, One Breath, avoiding any pitfalls that often plague artists who spring to international attention on the strength of their first album. Calvi shocked the world in 2011 with the release of her self-titled debut, three years in the making, a barn burner of musical chops, smarts, and cool. With One Breath, she picks up where she left off. Self-assured as always, Anna Calvi’s smoky vocals propulse her dark, brooding pop songs into new dimensions of electronics, chamber rock, and instrumental experimentalism, while guiding her songs into operatic meets gospel meets indie/alternative territory.
