New Zealand singer-songwriter Anna Hawkins releases her colourful new album “Bold, Brave & Beautiful”.

Anna's third studio album sees the performer release her most energetic offering to date, with an added emphasis on a new phase of her career – songwriting.

Drawing from a variety of musical inspirations, the album maintains continuity with her iconic voice and inspirational song selection while experimenting with the style of her original material.

“As a whole the album is more upbeat than my previous work, exploring some personal themes and crossing over genres a bit more.”

The album also features the same lush instrumentation of previous works as she's teamed up againwith talented Polish producer Pawel Zarecki, recording the album and orchestra in Warsaw. The diverse song-list combines Anna's original material with some brilliantly reimagined works finding musical expression for the central themes of freedom, courage and vulnerability.

“For me it represents having fun and being brave. Whats been really exciting about this album is exploring my own songs which have taken me into new territory musically. I’m drawn to songs that move me over and above a specific genre of music. This is reflected in what I’ve performed over the years and especially in what I've sought to create with this album.”
