Anne Lilia Berge Strand (born November 21, 1977 in Trondheim, Norway), better known by her stage name Annie, is a pop artist and DJ from Bergen, Norway.
Her debut album, Anniemal, was released in 2004 (the name originally an idea of her late boyfriend Tore). Annie worked with Timo Kaukolampi, who produced her 1999 single Greatest Hit, as well as Richard X, who produced and co-write the single Chewing Gum and the Geri Halliwell diss Me Plus one. The album’s Röyksopp-produced second single Heartbeat was voted number 1 on Pitchfork Media’s Top 50 singles of 2004 before the song was even officially released; Chewing Gum was number 11.
On January 17, 2007, Annie signed with Island Records. The first single from her second album Don’t Stop, I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me, was released in July 2008. Annie recalls the idea of the song as an attempt to recreate the drums and guitars from Prince’s
Kiss. As she states in her blog: “Of course it ended being nothing like Prince…but that’s where the inspiration came from.” Although it had a positive critical reception, it peak at number 54 in the UK, making this her lowest charting physical single to date. The music video was directed by Sarah Chatfield.
After numerous delays, Don’t Stop, her second album, was scheduled for release on April 2009. However, on November 25, 2008, Annie announced that she had decided to part ways with Island Records, leaving her second album’s future uncertain. The original version of the album leaked.
