Ahead of the release of her forthcoming EP (expected in February 2024), being anne enlisted the services of producer Søme for a moodier and even more downtempo cover of the 2000 debut single by Sugarbabes, “Overload.” The vocals float through ghostly textures and melodies in a near whisper bringing to the song a gently melancholic aspect that renders the original as less a dance pop track and one that seems to interpret the lyrics in a way that taps into tragedy of its narrative. With the wood block beat, doleful strings and nearly abstract piano and the samples of the sounds of a train on the track as the conveyance to take the narrator to a better place this version of “Overload” sounds like a song out of a Matthew Vaughn movie about a doomed romance. Listen to “Overload” on Spotify and follow the artists at the links below.
