One of Aotearoa's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, Anna Coddington returns with Beams – her first new album in four years – which sees Coddington exploring her place in the world as a human being, Māori, mother, musician and woman.
The album signals a new direction for Coddington, leaning into her indie sensibilities while maintaining a pop edge.
Produced by Stephanie Brown and Fen Ikner, aka enigmatic APRA Silver Scroll Award winners LIPS, Beams captures the artist and producers working cohesively, combining the indie-pop style of LIPS with Coddington’s penchant for storytelling.
Each track explores a different aspect of Coddington’s personal life, and through that, exposes a plethora of universal, wonderful human emotions – described as “a wānanga of ruthless self-expression”.
