Yet another Idol alumni - this time out of Finland. Anna Abreu is a Finnish-Portuguese singer who has had much success after taking part in Finnish Idol in 2006 and has become the best selling female artist ever in her country still at the age of just 19.
Her latest album, Just A Pretty Face? was released last month and reached #3 on the Finnish charts. The album has a bit of everything and certainly has some standout tracks. The first single, Music Everywhere is reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson (if she was from Europe) and after a few listens certainly gets stuck in your head. The song reached a peak of #2 on the Finnish charts. Other than this, Liquid and Slam are memorable tracks, with the latter sounding a lot a missing song from Britney a la Blackout or Circus.
Although Abreu's favourite track of mine would be 2008's Vinegar, which has been remixed and is getting a UK release at the end of this year following in the steps of some other Scandinavian artists. It is her first and only (so far) song to reach #1 in Finland. In the style of sounding like other pop divas, Vinegar sounds a lot like Kylie's Can't Get You Outta My Head (which isn't a bad thing).
Below find links to all of the above-noted tracks along with the video for Vinegar and a live performance of Music Everywhere from earlier this year.
