Hi everyone,
In case you missed the wonderful Live Lounge @ Brooklands FM yesterday I've posted one of the live tracks, St. Peter, online on the My Space site (www.myspace.com/annanealeacousticrock) and on the Reverb Nation page (www.reverbnation.com/annaneale). This will be up for a limted time, we have quite a few tracks that came out really well so I'll be alternating them from now to the album release just to keep you all excited! ;)

First review of the new album from 'The Mag'!
Touch LP

Record Review
By Steve
Set for release in February 2010, Touch is the first full length album from Anna Neale. Since we first heard from Anna, back in 2006, she has developed her sound into a more smooth pop style.
The songs on this record are predominantly acoustic, with the voice taking centre stage. The lyrics are observational and the polished performances come across very well.
Raked harmonics introduce the title track, which is a smouldering introduction to the album.
'Waterloo Bridge' and 'January' are highlights on this record. The first for the rolling rhythm and great chorus and the second for a fantastic melody.
A late surprise on the album is 'Tired of Holding On', with some great flickers of electric guitar and powerful chorus.
All of the songs mix that smooth pop with plenty of soul and that makes this album very accessible.
If one thing could be added to this record, it would be some "full band" backing to some of these tracks. They really would sound great with the complete sound and it would add another dimension to the record.
On this record, Anna's voice is so good that it's easy to overlook the fact that Anna Neale is actually a very talented guitarist too.
We rated this record 4 out of 5.

Hi everyone,
I've been busy behind the scenes so here's the latest!
- Exposure Music Awards Showcase:
My new acoutsic band (if you have't seen them already details are on the My Space) are playing at the Bar Music Hall in Shoreditch on November 12th at 9pm as part of the Expousre Music Awards! After the fantastic turn out for our 'debut' gig we thought we'd get ourselves up to London to show you all the new sound! The gig is being filmed so keep you eyes on the You Tube channel for this and the footage from Weyfest.
- New Album:
Yes we're finally there! The album, 'Touch' is finished and has been mastered beautifully by the guys at Shameless. The release date is set for 22/02/10. The album is a return to my more acoustic roots. The web site, My Space etc will all be changing over by the end of December where there will be preview tracks avalible on line. More details to follow soon!
- Guildford Brit Awards & Thanks:
In case you haven't heard already, I was honored to recently win 2009's Best Female Solo Artist award at the Guildford Brits! Many thanks to all of you who have been coming to the shows and buying the music. Also a huge thanks to everyone who came (and tried to come!) to our slot at Weyfest, it was one of the top three attended shows of the weekend!
More news to come soon including a new Video (no roundabouts in this one!!!),
