April 28, 2023 – Today, Anna of the North has shared the expanded, deluxe edition of her acclaimed third studio album Crazy Life, now available on all streaming platforms. The deluxe is heralded by bouncy lead single “Ridin,” cowritten by Anna, Jens Resch, and Marcus White. In tandem with the release, Anna has shared the official video for “Ridin,” featuring behind-the-scenes footage of Anna’s life on the road during her recent Crazy Life Tour through major cities across Europe and North America – watch HERE. The Crazy Life Deluxe vinyl is now available for pre-order, arriving June 30.


I feel like ‘Ridin’ is a song you put on when you need a reminder that life goes on even when you feel like not participating. It’s about having a hard time moving on, and knowing the only way out is through,” Anna explains. On the deluxe Anna adds, “Crazy Life Deluxe is an extension of the crazy life universe. I wrote a lot of songs through this period of my life and the three bonus tracks are favorites of mine that didn’t make the original record but definitely deserve to see the light of day. I hope you enjoy them.


In addition to “Ridin,” Anna of the North’s Crazy Life Deluxe features recent bonus singles, “Swirl” and “Try My Best,” the former of which was hailed as a “song you need to know” by Rolling Stone. Co-written by Anna, Victor Rådström (NEIKED) and Marcus White, “Swirl” gives listeners buoyant pop production as Anna sings about falling into old patterns and becoming comfortable with dissatisfaction. Featuring stop motion animation by Anna herself, the official music video for “Swirl” is streaming now on her YouTube channel - watch HERE. Co-written by Anna, Marcus White and Madelene Eliasson, “Try My Best” was the second of three brand new offerings to come from Anna’s Crazy Life Deluxe album, and received praise from Entertainment Weekly, Atwood Magazine and more.


Released November 4, 2022, Crazy Life is Anna’s chronicle of life in all its insanity, glory, and bliss. The album includes fan-favorite tracks such as “I Do You,” “Nobody,” “Bird Sing,” “Living Life Right,” and “Dandelion,” all joined by official music videos and visualizers streaming now on Anna’s official YouTube channel HERE. Garnering praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, PAPER, Uproxx and more, Crazy Life transcends the Norwegian artist’s ability to find comfort in vulnerability by inviting listeners into her world and illustrating exactly how it's done. Uncovering iridescence in mundanity, Anna of the North offers confessional and relatable lyrics with clarity, confidence, and a splash of shimmer.


The album is about everything, nothing, and all in between,” Anna explained. “It’s about those small things we don’t necessarily talk about—like the days where you lie on the couch because you can’t get out of the house. Many of the songs are about being stuck and how it’s hard to get out of your own patterns.”


Giving these themes concrete form as a ‘house,’ Anna teamed up with Australian designer Montana Kitching for Crazy Life’s album and single art. The artwork for each of the previously released singles corresponds to a place in the ‘house.’ As "Dandelion” introduced viewers to Anna’s living room, complete with her fluffy dog and thriving plants, "Bird Sing" captured the image directly outside Anna's bedroom window, giving you a 360- look at Anna's dwelling. “Nobody” provides a stark overview of Anna’s bedroom with the messy bed and leftover cereal that we’ve all been privy to at some point. You can explore the full house HERE.


With over a half a billion global streams under her belt, co-signs from Tyler, the Creator, Dua Lipa, Alina Baraz, Rejjie Snow, Steve Lazy and more, Anna of the North is the pop star who has been hiding in plain sight.

About Anna of the North:

Anna of the North makes the kind of music you can take along with you on the dancefloor, on a long drive with a loved one, or in the dead of night when you’re alone and need someone to understand how you feel. Trading her native Norway for Australia on a whim, she gained the nickname “Anna of the North,” underwent a creative awakening, and returned home with a renewed sense of purpose. Since 2014, she’s quietly emerged as an alternative pop phenomenon. She captivated listeners with a pair of acclaimed albums—Lovers [2017] and Dream Girl [2019]. The latter’s title track “Dream Girl” soundtracked Apple’s Global iPad Pro campaign “Float,” earned a Norwegian Grammy, and landed a sync in the third installment of NETFLIX’s blockbuster To All The Boys series, To All The Boys…Always & Forever, enshrining her as the only artist to contribute music to all three films. Tyler, The Creator recruited her to feature on the platinum-certified “Boredom” and lend background vocals to “911 / Mr. Lonely” [feat. Frank Ocean & Steve Lacy] from his GRAMMY® Award-nominated Flower Boy. Dua Lipa invited her to join forces for the “IDGAF (Anna of the North Remix),” and G-Eazy enlisted her for “Pick Me Up” from his platinum-certified epic The Beautiful & The Damned. Beyond praise from Variety, The FADER, Billboard, NME, and UPROXX, her voice powered songs from HULU’s Rosaline Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Drum & Lace and Ian Hultquist. Following her 2022 third full-length offering, Crazy Life [Elektra Entertainment], Anna unveils her Crazy Life Deluxe album, featuring three dreamy new tracks, “Swirl,” “Try My Best” and “Ridin.”
