Norwegian songwriter Anna Lotterud is known publicly under the pseudonym Anna of the North – for obvious reasons. In this case, indie pop, synth pop, soul pop and dream pop all contribute to a resolutely… pop approach. Melodic accents, consonant harmonies, romantic themes… nothing could be more pop. For the moment, the economy of means and artifices confers upon this Scandinavian singer expressing herself in English (perfected during an extended stay in the Antipodes) a freshness and lightness beyond the apparent conformity of her songs. If all goes well for Anna of the North, the stopover at Ministère should be a step towards much larger venues – not a foregone conclusion, despite the esteemed success of the albums Lovers (2017) and Dream Girl (2019).
