Norwegian singer-songwriter Anna of the North has been making people fall in love with her "soft, soul-baring electro-pop." She recently released her latest single, "Thank Me Later," - the first song she wrote for her forthcoming sophomore album.
Toward the end of her very first headlining tour in the USA, the singer stopped by Setlist.Fm to tell us about how conquering stage fright, and more. Watch below!
On her dream tour:
"It would be really cool to open for Tyler, The Creator because we have that little relationship. Well, we don't have a relationship, but I helped him on a track. But I don't do hip-hop so that might be hard."
On conquering stage frights:
"For the first time I feel like really ready for life. I really struggle playing live, it's scary. I don't think people understand how hard it is standing there, exposing yourself in that way, and also you have to perform, and it has to sound beautiful, you have to look beautiful... It's so much pressure. When I was starting off I was SO nervous doing live shows, and then I did it a million times, and now I love it."

Of the song, she expressed:
“I’m super excited about this song. It’s the first song I wrote toward this next record. There are so many songs where girls get objectified and controlled by the powerful and rich front man, made out to be all sexy and cute. I’m a front woman and this is a chance for me to get my own back. As well as to remind the guys that it’s not all about the money and that they can be sexy and cute too."
