Haunted by Ana Marina

Ana Marina is a New Zealand born, Australian singer-songwriter best known for her performances as Christine Daae in the Australian and World Tours of The Phantom of the Opera. Her debut album, HAUNTED, showcases five original songs and five covers, each exhibiting dark instrumental tones balanced with pure soprano vocals. It will be released on physical CD on April 15, 2016 and will be available on all major digital music platforms on May 1, 2016.

Her journey to HAUNTED took her through major cities all over the world playing lead roles in gothic musicals like Jekyll and Hyde, Les Miserables, and The Phantom of the Opera. After taking a break to start her family, Ana Marina made the transition from singing other people’s songs to writing and singing her own, something she had been dreaming of since her early teens.

The album’s five original songs each have down tempo vibes that are dark, yet liberating and ultimately transporting. The vocals are effortless, and the lyrics poetic, all speaking from the heart and from life’s journey. The covers are all classically styled renditions of well known songs that follow a similar theme, including Annie Lennox’s Love Song for a Vampire and Desperado by The Eagles. As a whole the album soothes and feeds the soul and heart, much like the music of Ana Marina’s major influences; Sarah Brightman, Sarah McLachlan, and Annie Lennox.

The title track, Haunted, is inspired by the power of the connection between people, even after they have gone. Akin to the other original compositions, the title track has a beautiful mix of sophisticated vocals, strings, piano and drums, all assisting to create an otherworldly and ultimately very unique sound.

The album launch will be on May 19th in Brisbane at the Spring Hill Reservoir, a unique venue in the heart of the city that is famous for its eerie catacombs and rich historical significance. Tickets are already available on TicketMaster.

HAUNTED is a peek into the heart of the artist who captured the imaginations of audiences all over the world as both Christine and Cosette. It presents a unique opportunity to engage your heart and mind in hauntingly beautiful songs delivered in the most mesmerising of fashions.
