This EP contains four songs all written by Anna Dukke and produced by legendary Spanish Rockabilly artist Al Dual who also plays Rhythm Guitar on the EP.
Review Track by Track : If It’s News To You- Off we go with a superb stroller, Anna’s deep RnB voice launches her way through this fine tune with a beat that keeps you on your toes and some raunchy saxophone accompaniment.
Comfortable Crap –A lovely intro and few tempo changes, make this track an easy listening magnet. Couple this with a pleasant beat and you have all the ingredients of another fine tune.
See You Again – This song was written by Anna in memory of her best friend who passed away on her return from the USA. Pablo Delgado on the Hammond introduces Anna’s voice which really plays though on this slow melancholy track hitting the high notes, cruisy laid-back number. “See You Again’ if only in your dreams.
Good Mind-Anna gives a touch of Lulu feel about this super-fast paced song, was written by her to lift her spirts in moments when there’s no energy left a kind of shot in the blood of joy. Contains some neat guitar licks from Isaac Gonzalez and progressive drumming from Moises Sorolla. A fitting end to this EP go out with a blaster.
Summary: Four different tracks make this EP a must to listen to whether you prefer the ballads of the fast ones there’s a bit of both here. Anna’s voice has such a deep range of Blues influences that make it so distinctive. This is her first record and I’m sure it won’t be her last.
