LOOP is beyond proud to welcome to the family and present the latest single from the incredible Anna Coddington!
Anna Coddington today unleashes single Release Me to the world, her first new material for 2016. The yacht-rock inspired Release Me features a driving rhythm sitting alongside a riff which lures in the listener. Performed live for the first time with Fly My Pretties, Release Me is another welcome addition to the stellar catalogue of Coddington.
Featuring the incredible rhythm section of Chris O’Connor and Mike Hall, alongside keys from Steph Brown (LIPS) and guitar from Jeremy Toy, Release Me shows Coddington lyrically at her best. Doubtful and uncertain lyrics given life through the amazing vocal talent of Coddington, and sung with all of the feelings. Release Me continues the build towards the release of Anna Coddington’s highly anticipated third album.
The music video shows a cast all in need of release, with director Aidee Walker literally driving us through people’s emotions across Auckland city. Release Me is the fifth video created by the pair, showcasing two talents who compliment each other perfectly.

ABOUT ANNA CODDINGTON
After a brief hiatus following her critically acclaimed sophomore album Cat & Bird, Anna Coddington returned to push in a new direction with a string of bold singles: Bird In Hand, Make You Mine and The Runner. In 2015 she followed these with self-produced single Slate and a NZ tour with US-based Silver Scroll winners LIPS.
Anna is currently working on her third album which will be the culmination of five years of diligent songwriting and many hours in her home studio, combined with studio sessions at Auckland’s The Lab with some of NZ’s finest musicians. Songs from the album will be trickled out as a series of singles over the year before the album’s release in late 2016.
Anna is known for her enchanting live performances and voice which “flows perfectly from soft to grunty”, and for her songwriting prowess which has seen her in the prestigious Silver Scroll songwriting award Top 20 list four times since 2010. She is a regular contributor with Fly My Pretties, has performed Aotearoa’s top music and arts festivals, and has sung her way around the country on numerous tours over the years.
