With a distinctive voice and an emotive guitar style, Anna Searight approaches singer-songwriting in a fresh and unique way. Combining classic songwriting and modern looping ideas, her haunting melodies reflect influences of artists such as Tracy Chapman, Elliott Smith and Thom Yorke. Beginning her musical life as a self-taught ‘bedroom guitarist’, Anna went on to study music in Brighton whilst playing local venues such as The Komedia, Latest Bar and The Prince Albert with her band Ocean Delay. The summer of 2008 marked the beginning of her solo career, establishing her as a prominent artist in the Brighton music scene. At the start of 2011 Anna made the big move to London to push her music furthur and the release of her debut EP, Whisper, is an exciting taste of more to come. "Her voice is truly something to behold. It’s pure and effortless without any of the cheesy Americanism that permeates so much of the acoustic genre. With her petite frame and long wavy locks, she looks like an English rose from a Renaissance painting. By the midway point she has the audience completely captivated and lightens the atmosphere with some playful banter. Her humble personality and girl-next-door politeness serve to highlight the fact that these are genuinely heartfelt songs."I Didn’t Know What To Do” is a haunting and fearful ode to a loved one where as set-closer “Time” layers soft harmonies and reflective lyrics that serve as a poignant exclamation mark to a wonderfully intimate show." XYZ Magazine (full review at http://www.xyzmagazine.co.uk/blog/wordpress/?p=7164) "Anna Searight’s songs show a notable delicacy that steps out from the usual woe-is-me singer songwriter material with “Time” impressing most despite its simplicity. Sometimes simple is enough when you have the talent to carry it off. Ms Searight has that talent." - Bluesbunny Music Reviews. "Anna's angelic voice sets ripples through even the hardened non-goosebumpable arms, likened to the vocalistic talents of Regina Spektor and a female Elliott Smith, complete with wistful guitars and an opportunity-opening loop-box." - Rich Ward, Overhead Wires. "Anna Searight is one of those rare talents that will whisk you away from the monotony of everyday life; a sweet, contemplative, modern take on acoustic pop" - Emma King and the Heartsets, PLC Records
