Norwegian Pop Sensation!

I bought the CD Anniemal today, by Norwegian pop sensation Annie. There's been a big buzz about her for a while and consequently I'd downloaded some mp3s last winter, but now her CD has been officially released in the U.S. All this limewire filesharing stuff actually makes me buy more music...

As if vindication for my Nordic purchase, as soon as I started driving home today, "Chewing Gum" came on ZBC radio.

Stylusmagazine.com has a big thumbs-up review of the CD, stating that it's a "human album." The sound of summer '05, I say.
