“Originally released on their debut album back in 2019, Anam Danu have remade the title track ‘Winds of Change’ and have made it accessible once more. From Victoria, British Columbia in Canada, Anam Danu combine years of varied musical experience to create experimental, adult-oriented pop, and ‘Winds of Change’ is just that.
The track commences with a unique blend of instruments, sitting somewhere between a cultural documentary jingle and a Nokia ringtone, before introducing dual vocalists that push the track even further afield. All of the elements are individually beautiful but come together sonically in an almost harrowing fashion, like it could be the soundtrack to suspense and love simultaneously.
It’s title taken from Harold Macmillan’s 1960 speech, ‘Winds of Change’ is not just an experiment, the lyrics are a protest to the political incompetence of the west and a big F you to climate change. Cinematic pop with an uncomfortable aura, Anam Danu have established a unique method of songwriting that is no stranger to evoking emotion and despite it’s quirkiness, ‘Winds of Change’ reflects the talent shared between the three members.
Not for casual listening, ‘Winds of Change’ is an experience, voicing opinions and showcasing their individuality as musicians. Debuted on album one, rereleased after album four, this track is sounding fresh and incorporates the new sound of Anam Danu. A great listen and an even greater message“.
