Liza Anne – Bummer Days
After earlier tracks like Paranoia, Panic Attack and Bad Vacation, new single Bummer Days adds to the party vibe 😉. Don’t be mistaken however. Okay, on her upcoming album Bad Vacation (out on 24 July) Nashville pop-rocker Liza Anne reflects on mental health, destructive habits, and toxic relationships, but all in all it’s an empowering affair.
“I was writing what I needed to hear”, Liza explains. “I was writing what I needed to feel. Quite literally I was writing a stronger, more empowered version of myself into existence.” This makes her fourth long-player a collection of liberating, thoughtful and confident songs. Art rock anthems, new wave jams, and power pop earworms, set to provide her with her well-deserved breakthrough.
New single Bummer Days is a catchy self-critique of wallowing in sadness. “I don’t know what I want but I know that I feel bad / And then when I feel good I think I make myself sad”, Liza Anne sings. “I wanna feel like I can get out of my own way.”

Liza Anne – Bad Vacation
These are bizarre times. And in days like these, people need music for their entertainment. Nevertheless, many artists postpone the release of their new albums, because ‘it doesn’t feel right’. Luckily, there are artists like Georgia-born Liza Anne as well. She states: “It feels like a strange time to release music, but an even stranger time not to.”
Bad Vacation is her newest single. It’s a bold and frenetic track about the manic pain and joy of freeing yourself from an unhealthy relationship. Catchy, synth-driven and with a killer bassline. “Writing this song was a mental playground for me”, Liza Anne explains. “Turning pain into satire and imaging a hope-filled world with no ceilings. I wanted to bottle up that electricity that happens when you’re free of something taxing.”

Liza Anne – Panic Attack
Liza Anne Odachowski, the critically acclaimed Nashville singer-songwriter better known these days by her stage name Liza Anne, just released her third album Fine But Dying. An intriguing collection of songs, of which I already recommended the first single Paranoia. Album track Panic Attack is an equally honest song. In fact, honesty and/or openness appears to be the main theme of the album.
In Liza Anne’s own words: “Growing up, people would always say I was too happy to be depressed, or too social to have anxiety. In their eyes, because I was one thing, I couldn’t also be something else. I think we all exist in duality, though. I can be everything and nothing all at once.”
In a world where keeping up appearances seems to be the norm, we need more people like Liza Anne.

Liza Anne – Paranoia
Liza Anne is Nashville singer-songwriter Liza Anne Odachowski. She makes music since 2010 and already released two albums: The Colder Months (2014) and, appropriately, Two (2015). She just finished her third effort, Fine But Dying.
The singer is not afraid to open up about herself. Her new single Paranoia is about the anxiety she says she’s lived in for most of her life. “Growing up, people would always say I was too happy to be depressed, or too social to have anxiety”, she says. “It’s pretty inhumane to expect a human being to represent only one side of themselves.” Paranoia exposes her other side. A frighteningly good song!

Kate Nash – Life In Pink
Kate Nash’s career started around the same time as Lily Allen’s, and they have often been compared in the beginning. I still like her playful early singles, like Pumpkin Soup, Mouthwash, and Foundations (all from 2007).
After a few non-album singles in recent years, Nash is now working towards her next, Kickstarter-financed album, Yesterday Was Forever. Her first album in five years’ time, which Nash calls ‘an excerpt from a teenage diary’, is to be released on 30 March. It features her recent single Drink About You and this equally great follow-up.
Life In Pink is a dynamic power pop track about mental health. As Nash states: “The concept of the video is balancing the sane and what I’m told are ‘insane’ parts of my brain and how I think you need a balance of the two to really make it in this life.”
It’s hardly coincidence this track appears on Carte Blanche Music the same day as Liza Anne’s Panic Attack…
