Alan Braxe releases new single with Annie

Alan Braxe has released new song “Never Coming Back” featuring Norwegian pop artist Annie, and the newly remastered “You’ll Stay In My Heart,” a tear-jerking Alan Braxe and Fred Falke work previously found only on CD compilations and unofficial mixes. Both appear on the upcoming reissue of his 2005 cult classic compilation album The Upper Cuts, due out March 31 on Smugglers Way. “Never Coming Back” comes via a video by animator Sophie Koko. 

“I first met Annie virtually, just listening to her vocals as I was remixing her song ‘Heartbeat’ in 2005,” says Braxe. “I could hear in her voice both softness and strength and I found it very touching. Since then I always thought that we should work on a song one day. Last year I sent her an instrumental demo and when she then told me that she was up for it, we recorded the vocals in Bergen, Norway and chose the theme of escaping a problematic relationship and regaining freedom.” 

"I’ve been such a fan of Alan Braxe and the universe of French house for years,” says Annie, “and to me it’s the ultimate party music… takes me to the best place every time I listen to these ultimate classics. Years ago Alan B did a brilliant remix of my own single ‘Heartbeat,’ so it was so fun to do a track together after all this time. ‘Never Coming Back’ is basically about someone getting out of a toxic relationship. Tired of the past, looking for the future, and this time you’re finally on your own and ready for something new.”
