Annabelle Chvostek

Celebrating the French and Weimar cabaret era, the former Wailin’ Jennys member Annabelle Chvostek digs into her East European heritage alongside her Canadian background and marital Uruguayan influences for this gloriously ebullient sixth album ‘Strong of Pearls’.

On Annabelle Chvostek’s latest release ‘Be The Media’ she’s gone back to her indie roots. She may have described her earlier album Resilience as “a big complicated hug”, due to its warm enveloping nature, but ‘Be The Media’, despite initial appearances of spiky acerbity, turns out to be just as enveloping in its own way.

Ex-Wailin’ Jennys singer takes the bull by the horns on her latest release ‘Rise’ which is inspired by the ‘Occupy’ movement in Toronto and across the rest of the world. A great protest album!
