Western Sydney hip hop and R’n’B artist annelise. has released a slow burn groove with the smoulderng “Rearrangement”. Shining a light on the young artists growth as a songwriter, it illuminates her growing talent as a polished artist who conveys astute self-expression.

First off, this track blends smooth R&B vibes with heartfelt storytelling. annelise. feels this song rumbles with defiance and confidence and with it she has hit all the marks she set herself as a songwriter. “Music is all about progress and authentic expression of self”. If that’s true we can hear she’s a thoughtful person who isn’t afraid to go deep. The track opens with a laid-back groove, featuring a mellow beat and a relaxed rhythm. The production sounds minimalist at first but on closer inspection light with a hint of melodrama seeping in at the edges.

The song’s vibe is melancholic yet strangely empowering, creating a sense of tension that mirrors the lyrical tone, “After all this time/ You finally showed me who you truly are/ And to be honest, I’m grateful you have/ Because now I can be the best version me. Period.” Lyrics like that are peppered throughout the sensual song that deals with heartbreak and female empowerment. The thought-provoking track sinks deep with its raw emotion and the common theme of desiring respect and agency. And with annelise.’s sublime vocal style “Rearrangement” is a captivating slice of Aussie neo-soul and R&B. She sings unhurried, smoothly and the laidback beats carry her like a wave. The vulnerability that comes through her voice sounds conversational and sincere which is a pleasure to listen to.

annelise. is primed to make a name for herself as a storyteller who can reveal another sides of life for an Aussie woman. With her gaining growing attention from radio like Triple J and online, “Rearrangement” is a confident step in the right direction for this exciting artist.
