AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Anna Nalick

Artist:Anna Nalick
Song:Breathe (2AM)
Album:Wreck Of The Day: Expanded Edition





Singer songwriter Anna Nalick was a college student who came out of nowhere to score a Gold record in 2005 with Wreck Of The Day and a hit single with Breathe. Then she seemed to fall off the face of the earth. She is currently on the comeback trail. She was born Mar. 30, 1984 in Glendora, CA. Her grandparents were Broadway performers so she was exposed to all kinds of music. But she has acknowledged Tori Amos as a major influence. She was attending college in 2004 and gave a demo to one of her professors. It landed in the hands of former Blind Melon members Christopher Thorn and Brad Smith who were just starting a production company. Anna was a big Blind Melon fan. They brought in producer Eric Rosse. He is best known for producing Tori Amos and seems to specialize in producing female singer songwriters. Anna signed with Columbia Records and her debut CD Wreck Of The Day was released in 2005. The album reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 200 and was certified Gold. The single Breathe only reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100. But the video was in heavy rotation on Vh1 and the song appeared in an episode of the TV series Gray's Anatomy and the 2006 film A Lot Like Love starring Ashton Kutcher. I'm sure Gray's Anatomy drove a lot of album sales. The expanded edition of Wreck Of The Day is available as a budget CD. So she's on her way to a long career, right? Wrong. Anna was recording her second album to be called Broken Doll. The single Shine was released in 2008. But then Columbia shelved the album and dropped her. Obviously she butted heads with label management. Apparently Anna was able to get the masters back from Columbia and has released the CD Broken Doll & Odds and Ends last week on her own label. She is working on a new CD wth Taylor Swift's producer Nathan Chapman and plans to release it later this year. So at least Anna Nalick is out there again. I think it's doubtful that she can return to the heights of Wreck Of The Day. But I also think she is a talent worth checking out. Here's the video for Breathe (2AM) by Anna Nalick. This video doesn't seem to be on Youtube.
