Anna Coddington returns with her new album, Beams. With an approach of ruthless self-expression, this album sees Coddington dive into the personal to draw out the universal.

To celebrate the upcoming release, Spark & Spotify are thrilled to announce Coddington will be performing the new album live as part of the Spark Sessions on November 19 from Roundhead Studios.

The Session will see Coddington & her full band premiere the album ahead of the release, & will be live streamed on the Spark Facebook page.

Leaning into her indie sensibilities, while maintaining a pop edge, Beams sees Coddington exploring her place in the world across 10 tracks as a mother, musician, Maori & human being. After spending long periods of her career shying away from these subjects, Beams sees Coddington tackling them head on & at full speed, with honest abandon.

Featuring the singles Beams ft. Louis Baker and The Saint (with stains) & produced by APRA Silver Scroll-winning duo Steph Brown & Fen Ikner aka LIPS, Beams captures an artist & producer working cohesively, combining the indie/electronic-pop style of LIPS alongside 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.

Coddington & LIPS combine throughout Beams to create a musical journey which draws on their own life experiences. With all songs originally written on guitar, LIPS then brought their musical palette to the table, layering up wistful/nostalgic synths, punchy drums, & well-placed basslines, all with Coddington’s vocals sitting front and centre.

Through collaboration with LIPS and combining both act’s musical sensibilities, Beams sees Coddington creating her most cohesive piece of work to date - a delightfully upbeat piece of indie-pop, with tinges of self-reflection & sorrow across the board.
