Final Girl

Existential Magazine
“Final Girl wears it’s heart on it’s sleeve unapologetically and it’s refreshing to be so gripped on a track built around such bare instrumental bones, that while simple play an entirely enthralling part in what makes this new single so oddly catchy in the most heart-wrenching of ways . . . [Listening is] a melancholic experience filled with striking lyricism and a soundscape that both alleviates stress and leaves your heart aching too.”

“The track feels like the song equivalent of being naked alone. It is bare yet complex, beautiful yet hard to look at . . . [Final Girl] is an anti-ballad that resonates within the listener’s mind as strongly as the guitar and vocals do in the track. . . the seemingly old soul inside her music feels reminiscent of Lorde and Hozier, which is hopefully a good sign of what’s to come for the rest of her journey.”

Glasse Factory
“[Final Girl] pulls its listener in to experience a taste of vulnerability that gently eases and calms with its cathartically slow beat and dreamy vocals. The atmospherical daydream the track creates takes the audience into a time capsule of her creation, where she had overly romanticized a person to ‘the point of no return,’ as she puts it.”

“Final Girl is a beautiful foray into Indie melodic pop rock. Anna’s vocals are clear, easy to hear and charming to listen to . . . I just fell in love with the subject matter! What a great story behind this one. I’m hooked! I was really drawn in to the development throughout . . . A really strong, positive, euphoric track that I was very drawn to. I’m looking forward to hearing more from Anna.”

Visual Atelier
“Final Girl is a song with few elements but all of them, in their own way, very powerful. Although Anna Baldree has a delicate voice and sings over an instrumental base stripped of unnecessary elements, her poetry speaks of feelings that flood thoughts and flood the limbic system.”

“Try Again is a raw and honest delight, exploring the themes of anger, regret, and guilt over growing estrangement from friends and family. Infectious melodies are backed with muddy lo-fi guitar and rock beats. Anna’s voice is unique and genuine. Like a long distance phone call to an old friend, she momentarily lets us glimpse into her world, letting down her defenses for just enough time for us to see her point of view.”

That Weird Music
“Lyrically, Try Again pulls at the heart strings, expressed perfectly with Anna’s soft voice . . . Wavering somewhere between pop and soft-rock, Anna’s relatable track offers reassurance to those of us who rely on music as a type of therapy. Try Again is truly a faultless debut single by Anna Baldree, complete with meaningful lyrics and angelic, soothing harmonies. It truly shows Anna’s vulnerable side in a warm track, ultimately about loss.”

Le Future Wave
“You’ll be enchanted by the iconic pop instrumentation [in Try Again]. Infectious melodies and dreamy, lush guitars lay the groundwork for the production. With each word delivered with precision, the vocals follow their own flow. The chorus has a strong sense of character and it really makes the song so amazing”
