Norwegian singer Annie (born Anne Lilia Berge-Strand) is as pop as early Madonna or late Kylie Minogue, yet her hipster credibility puts her just as close to Saint Etienne or Miss Kittin。
She first made an impression in 1999 with a juicy Madonna-sampling single called "The Greatest Hit," produced by Tore Andreas Kroknes (aka Erot); its impact wasn't immediate, but through several releases, a few keen club DJs, and word of mouth, it became something of an underground smash。
The duo, who became romantically involved as well, recorded another single ("I Will Get On"), but Kroknes' life was taken (at the age of 23) by a heart defect in 2001。
Annie eventually picked herself up and became more involved in Bergen, Norway's club scene than ever。
She made some connections and wound up recording a number of tracks with Timo Kaukolampi of Op:L Bastards。
The two continued to record some tracks for Annie's own album。 The results, along with a handful of productions from fellow Norwegians R??yksopp and England's Richard X, formed the basis of Anniemal。
Originally released in 2004, the album was picked up for release in the U。S。 in June of the following year。
She contributed to K7's DJ Kicks series in late October of the same year。 Anne Lilia Berge Strand (born November 21, 1977), better known by her stage name Annie, is a pop artist and DJ from Bergen, Norway。
Annie began her recording career in 1999 with the underground hit single "The Greatest Hit" and gained international acclaim, particularly from music bloggers, for her debut album Anniemal (2004)。
After completing secondary school, Annie started DJing in Bergen, where she met house producer and future boyfriend Tore Kroknes。
In 1999, Annie and Kroknes released the single "The Greatest Hit", which sold out in two days and became popular in Norwegian and British nightclubs。
Before Annie and Kroknes could release an album, Kroknes died from a congenital heart defect in 2001。
Annie went on to sign a record deal with Britain's 679 Recordings in 2003, releasing her debut album Anniemal in 2004, for which she received widespread critical acclaim and several Norwegian music awards。
Annie has been praised for her unique, "indie" style of electropop music and has been described as "a pop singer with credibility, an indie artist with one eye on the dancefloor",[1] and "the Kylie it's cool to like"。
[2] Annie describes her music as "pop with strange edges。" Annie will release her studio second album, Don't Stop, on the Smalltown Supersound label on October 19, 2009。
Annie currently lives in Berlin。 只找到英语的，大概意思是说Annie原名叫Anne Lilia Berge Strand，是挪威特隆赫姆港人，在卑尔根港做过歌手和DJ，乐风近似于早年麦当娜和晚期凯莉米洛。
她的成名作是一首带有麦当娜风格的单曲"The greatest hit"，创作者是她的男友Kroknes。这首歌没有立刻流行，而是通过一些俱乐部DJ口耳相传才红起来，从地下转向大众，给她带来了国际声誉。
于是她和Kroknes又发行了另一首单曲"I Will Get On"，这首单曲马上在挪威和英国的俱乐部里流行。但是跟她合作的创作人（也是男友）Kroknes却因为心脏病死去。 后来Annie收拾心情继续在卑尔根的俱乐部发展，先后录制了几首单曲，也在录音界发展了一定的人脉，最后录制了自己的专辑"Anniemal"，04年在美国发行。
Annie的音乐由于其electropop的独特indie风格而受到称赞，她把自己的乐风形容为"pop with strange edges"（我不懂怎么翻译）。09年她又出一张新专辑"don't stop"。
在发行过程中，单曲"I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me"的版权问题使得Annie和唱片公司发生了一些纠纷，但也不影响这首单曲出现在UK流行音乐榜单上。 Annie将自己定位为专业的音乐人，她本身是个创作型的歌手，参与了专辑中大部分音乐的创作。
同时她也自称是个书虫和国际问题爱好者。目前她住在柏林。 还有很多关于她每张专辑的发行经过和评论，我就不翻译了，看w i k i百科吧。收起
