Anna O ignites the Australian music scene with mesmerising electro pop single, 'Set It On Fire'

Boorloo/Perth’s electro pop artist, Anna O ignites the Australian music scene one more time with her latest addition - ‘Set It On Fire’. Known for her powerful and passionate brand of alt pop, Anna O has captivated audiences since the release of her debut EP in 2015.

Following her successful release of 'We've Got Time' earlier this year, which was widely praised for its tender and introspective lyricism, Anna O's latest offering promises to be just as impressive. 

'Set It On Fire' not only showcases Anna O's emotive lyricism and pulsating beats but also boasts a dreamy production that feels ethereal. The song features a sawtooth synth bass that adds an edge to the track, perfectly complementing Anna O's captivating vocals.

‘Set It On Fire’ pulses with intense passion, be it for loves or life, with Anna O’s vocal takes, slightly honeyed and emboldened, guiding the listener through an electro pop wonderland. Peeling back the layers of this track, past the stunning Anna O harmonies, and pushing through the slight crunch and dark bounce of the percussion, there’s sheets of synths interweaving playfully, tickling the neurons and making the body pop and sway with the flow of the song. In ‘Set It On Fire’, Anna O has dug deep and presented gloriously fun, empowering electro alt pop.

The energy of 'Set It On Fire' is nothing short of liberating. Anna O's powerful vocals are layered with soaring choruses that burst with energy, creating a sense of euphoria that is hard to resist. 

Drawing from her own life experiences, Anna O has crafted a song that is both heartfelt and powerful, exploring themes of self-discovery and finding one's way through life's challenges. Anna O states:

"It’s no surprise that lyrically it was still about this season of life that I was in the thick of.. post-natal depression, stay at home mum, no understanding or diagnosis yet for me or my boys. Still unmedicated because I was too scared."

Being open and transparent about her challenges in life is the core to her songwriting as she continues, "One morning at some inhumane hour I lay awake staring into the dark after feeding my baby boy back to sleep. I was agitated and frustrated, but then this sense came over me that I was about to write a song, which is how songwriting tends to work for me." 

Produced by Luke Minness (PRISCILLA, Have A Good Day, Yes Lenny), 'Set It On Fire' is a testament to Anna O's dedication and commitment to her craft. Her recent partnership with Minness has resulted in a creative explosion, with many more releases in the pipeline.

Anna O has created an immersive, entrancing soundscape, with mesmerising vocals in ‘Set It On Fire’. The incredible new release from one of Australia’s most captivating electro pop artists is out now on all streaming platforms.
