2012, Casablanca

One of the brightest stars to light up the pop firmament this millennium is back, with a difference. Thanks to her brilliant self-titled 2008 debut, Ladyhawke, a.k.a. Pip Brown, shot to stardom around the world. Her follow-up will surely even exceed those achievements, and establish the wildly talented young tunesmith as one of her generation's most beloved pop heroines. Eighteen months in the making, Anxiety carries ten instant classics, each brimming over with irresistible hooks, fresh beats and ear-grabbing synth sounds.
