Anne-Marie Sanderson

Anne-Marie Sanderson is a Cumbrian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer whose music combines contemporary folk, piano-led composition and neoclassical arrangement. Her album Old Light established a gentle and atmospheric style built around poetic writing and detailed acoustic textures. ‘Bright Air’ begins a collection of piano-centred songs and examines the opposing impulses associated with winter: the desire to retreat and the need to move. Piano, strings and Anne-Marie Sanderson’s restrained vocal create a spacious arrangement that reflects stillness without becoming static. The track marks a shift towards a more pronounced neoclassical influence while retaining the storytelling at the centre of her earlier work.
