English singer-songwriter Anna Calvi has made her comeback with her new album Hunter and a huge UK tour.
Anna Calvi has been nominated for several Mercury Prize awards and will be releasing her third album on August 31st via Domino. The album was produced by Nick Launay aka Nick Cave and Kendrick Lamar’s collaborator William Kennedy directed the video for her new single “Don’t Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy.”
“I’ve waited five years for this moment, I’ve waited until I felt this music was right, that I could stand behind it and feel it’s the best and most honest art I could possibly make,” she said, introducing the record. “I gave everything to this record, all my love, all my passion, every inch of me is found in this music. Now I let it go and I hope it finds you. Thank you for being so patient, thank you for being there.
“Primal and beautiful, vulnerable and strong, this is my record, Hunter.”

We can certainly hear the passion Calvi claimed to put into the record in this fierce, edgy single. Her voice works beautifully over the heavy and distorted bass and the wonderfully violent breakdown is highly memorable.
