Opulent (Annie Bass)
After a series of acclaimed singles, Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist Annie Bass releases Control, her six track debut EP on Opulent in May 2019. Drawing inspiration from Nina Simone, John Coltrane, James Blake and Portishead, Control's six songs have an intimacy that is both intensely private and impossibly inviting. The production, chiefly by Los Angeles rising star Kito (Jorja Smith, Mabel) with additional work from Melbourne's Sam Gill (Ara Koufax), is understated and spacious, allowing the purity of Annie Bass' voice, and the unflinching emotional honesty of her lyrics, to shine through.
