Review: ‘The Friday Night Club’ – Anna Howie

Anna Howie is a homegrown talent who’s debut 11 track album seeks to solidify her status as one of the fastest rising stars of the scene. Howie penned some of the album in Nashville and reflects upon her time there whilst she also takes influence from family and friends and the trials and tribulations we all faced in the last couple of years.

The stand out track comes in the form of ‘In The Morning’ which features a brass section, which is unusual for the genre. Meanwhile, ‘A Bird Sings In Nashville’ Howie wrote on a porch swing out in Nashville where she had planned to record the album but she made the most of the travel ban by instead recording and producing this track in the UK with Lukas Drinkwater who has kept things simple but has done a great job.

Howie captured the hearts of fans with a livestream every Friday night which garnered nearly two million views and inspired the name of the album. It’s a very well written and produced record that is most certainly worth a listen.
