"Shine" is a song FOR those people who have made mistakes in a public way, FOR people whose mistakes and heartbreak are considered entertainment. When sad things that would hurt ANYBODY happen, like your relationship falling apart and making entertainment news, or you constantly being told how you aren't good, thin, pretty, or rich enough, or your job being so taxing for the roles you have to play (whether it's having to immerse yourself in a crazy depressed state of mind to play a crazy depressed character, or having to stay permanently smiling every time you leave your house even though you've just had a miscarriage), or an argument with someone you love, or your dog died and you finally crack, we just say, "It was bound to happen, everyone in Hollywood is shallow and addicted."

"Shine" is also saying that little girls, like your daughters and sisters or you, don't have to throw up to be pretty, be sleazy to be loved, or be crazy to get attention. Just because the BAD things are what people pay money for doesn't mean that those things are ALL of what your favorite movie and music stars are.

-- Anna Nalick



Anna Nalick first broke onto the music scene in April of 2005 with the release of her debut album Wreck of the Day. Featuring heartfelt lyrics and haunting melodies, Wreck of the Day showcased Anna as a passionate and honest songwriter. The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at 20 and has since been RIAA certified gold and sold more than 750,000 copies.

Undoubtedly, the breakout song from Wreck of the Day was "Breathe (2AM)". The smash single has sold nearly 2 million copies to date and was featured prominently on the hit television series, "Joan of Arcadia." After topping the charts, the song received new life and popularity when it was featured on ABC’s primetime hit "Grey’s Anatomy" in February 2006. Anna was awarded ASCAP’s most performed song in 2005-2006 award for "Breathe (2 AM)." The song still garners more than 200 radio spins a week...three years after its release!

Anna found her love for music in the 5th grade when she began re-writing popular song lyrics and combining them with her own melodies. She grew up with the strong musical influences of her family. Two of her grandparents performed on Broadway and parents exposed her to a diverse range of artists from Elvis to Led Zeppelin. In addition to her family, Anna credits Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, U2, John Mayer and Fiona Apple as a few of her many major musical influences and inspirations.

Anna developed her musical ambitions in high school and college by performing in cover bands and taking opportunities to showcase her own material. A chance meeting with a professor in college proved to be Anna’s big break. The professor passed along a lo-fi home-recorded demo to some friends and it eventually wound up in the hands of Christopher Thorn and Brad Smith. Thorn and Smith founded the band Blind Melon and were operating as a production team at the time. The duo was impressed by the recording and agreed to help Anna record a master demo. Anna then played the recording for several record companies and was signed by SonyBMG in 2003.

Anna is recording the follow-up to her hit 2005 debut. The album is tentatively set to be released in the summer of 2008, and first single "Shine" will hit radio in early March. Anna describes the song "Shine" as, "a song FOR those people who have made mistakes in a public way, FOR people whose mistakes and heartbreak are considered entertainment." Nalick adds, "Shine is also saying that little girls, like your daughters and sisters or you, don't have to throw up to be pretty, be sleazy to be loved, or be crazy to get attention. Just because the BAD things are what people pay money for doesn't mean that those things are ALL of what your favorite movie and music stars are."

The Shine EP, currently available on iTunes, features the new single, acoustic renditions of previous singles, and an exclusive acoustic cover of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Breaking The Girl." Wise beyond her 24 years, Anna is a unique addition to the music scene. Her talent, individuality, and empowered feminine perspective are sure to be showcased on her eagerly anticipated 2008 album, Shine.

Hallo, am Sonntag ist Dein myspace-Freund Philipp Poisel mein Gast bei der Songwriter Wochenschau TV Noir in Berlin (tvnoir.de). Die clips von der Show stehen dann immer mit Verzögerung auf tvnoir.de, also die Show mit Philipp wahrscheinlich so in zwei bis drei Wochen - jetzt schon zu genießen ist die erste Show mit Sven van Thom und Sebastian Block von Mein Mio, als nächstes kommt dann Klee's Pele Caster, Illute, Eva von Juli und Simon von Minimum. Falls du selber einen Vorschlag hast für einen Gast, siehe tvnoir.de/volxbegehren! Gruß, Tex

CANNOT wait for the tour to start! Last time you were here in DC, you weren't feeling too well, so you did an acoustic show instead of the full band....but it still was amazingggg...looking forward to the next time you're in town or a town nearby, or just on the road period!!! Rock on.
