Annie - '2 of Hearts'

Friday, October 03, 2008

It's 1986.

Music will never be the same.

John Farnham unleashes Whispering Jack and Australia reacts the only way humanity can, by buying Stacy Q's "2 of Hearts" in sufficient numbers to send it rocketing to number 7.

One year later, Stacy Lynn Swain is still milking it on TV's The Facts of Life...

Then darkness, until....

Twenty years later, a generation of 80's kids have grown up and this starts happening...

It's 2008, and Norway's Annie is literally looking "down the barrel of a gun", as wise John put it back in 1986.

Her first single "Girlfriend" has failed to generate much interest in her upcoming album and so the label has pushed it back.

Producer Richard X is called and they drop their own Stacy Q cover, hoping to drum up some interest. What a shame Ultraviolet Sound pipped them to the post. ;-(

You can download the Annie version of "2 of Hearts" here - or listen to it here.

Expect a flood of "You're The Voice" covers any day now.
