Deeply personal yet universal, Girl in a Bottle is Anna of the North’s most vulnerable record yet, as she captures the dopamine rush of new romance, the fleeting fragility of modern love, and lasting heartache when it all dissolves. With production by Starsmith (JADE, Kylie Minogue, Ellie Goulding) and Sebastian Furrer (COBRAH, Avicii) Anna’s melancholic tone is transcendent across the 8 tracks of Girl in a Bottle, and though the 80s hued sonics point to hope and nostalgia, there is a signature sadness at the core.

The album features the swirling, lovelorn single “No One Knows You Better”, with the refrain of the title gently repeated, allowing Anna to bare all. It follows on from the glistening, crystalline pop anthems “Call Me”, “Waiting For Love” and “Give Me Your Love Back”.

Over the years Anna of the North has received critical acclaim for her albums Lovers (2017), Dream Girl (2019) and Crazy Life (2022)/ Her sound has transcended all around the world, generating a total of 550M+ streams. Anna’s music has earned her a Norwegian Grammy for single “Dream Girl”, alongside co-signs and collaborations with the likes of Tyler The Creator, Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, Dua Lipa and G-Eazy.
