On her new album, Anna is reflecting on a feeling of freedom, one’s own sexuality and the borders of genre conformity. “I fight against the outsider feeling and I wish to find a place where I will feel like at home. I believe a gender is a spectrum,” Anna Calvi said about the album Hunter.

Apart from the aforementioned chaps from The Badseeds and Portishead, Anna Calvi has worked with the Legendary David Byrne, the frontman of Talking Heads. A big hit Strange Weather came out of their collaboration.
