She currently resides in Berlin. Her debut album, Anniemal, was released in 2004. The name originally was an idea of her late boyfriend Tore Kroknes, who produced her 1999 single "Greatest Hit". Annie worked with Timo Kaukolampi (ex-Op:l Bastards), as well as Richard X, who produced and co-write the single "Chewing Gum" and the Geri Halliwell diss "Me Plus One". The Röyksopp-produced second single "Heartbeat" was voted number 1 on Pitchfork Media's Top 50 singles of 2004 before the song was even officially released. "Chewing Gum" ranked at number 11. On 17 January 2007, Annie signed with Island Records. The first single from her second album Don’t Stop, "I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me", was released in July 2008. Annie recalls the idea of the song as an attempt to recreate the drums and guitars from Prince’s "Kiss". As she states in her blog: “Of course it ended being nothing like Prince... but that's where the inspiration came from". Although it had a positive critical reception, it peak at number 54 in the UK, making this her lowest charting physical single to date. The music video was directed by Sarah Chatfield.

After numerous delays, Don’t Stop, her second album, was scheduled for release on April 2009. However, on 25 November 2008, Annie announced that she had decided to part ways with Island Records, leaving her second album's future uncertain. The original version of the album leaked.

In May 2009, Annie released a Richard X production entitled "Anthonio". The song tells the story of a holiday affair between Annie and a man named Anthonio who she met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Annie described the song as "the ultimate summer track". The release was followed by digital releases of "Songs Remind Me Of You" and "My Love Is Better".

Don’t Stop was finally released in November 2009 to rave reviews. The album contained new tracks with Paul Epworth and a special edition bonus disc was made available.

Annie's work has been awarded and critically acclaimed. In 2005 Annie won several awards for her work, including Best Pop Album and Best Newcomer at the Norwegian Alarm Awards ("Chewing Gum" had also been nominated for Song of the Year). Annie also won the Best Newcomer award at the prestigious Spellemannsprisen, the Norwegian Grammy Awards.

Annie's February 5th performance at the Alarm Awards was one of her first ever live performances. She also toured around the world to promote Anniemal, including a brief United Kingdom tour with Saint Etienne, to whom she had sent a demo tape while still in the band, Suitcase in 1996. Annie performed at sold out club venues in the United States in the summer of 2005, and returned to the US later that year. That same year, Annie released a compilation in the DJ-Kicks series on the !K7 label. Annie started a record label with Timo Kaukolampi called Totally.

On 29 July 2013 she released The A&R EP, a collaboration with Richard X. This EP included the single "Back Together". The Autumn of 2015 saw the release of her second EP with Richard X entitled Endless Vacation.

Invisible
Annie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is long until the dawn
Dodge your number, I speak to the tune
Stay on hold till lips turn cold
Will you call me later?
Will I catch you later?
I was looking for you, but you're never home
Hours and hours, stay by day
You never sided, you never told

What I feel, what I know, what I hear is over!

Chorus:
Your love's so cold
You raised me up and let me fall
You seek the truth,
For some become invisible.

Girl you know me, I know you
I make mistakes, that it's true
If you can't forgive me, let me go
I'm the devil in the dark
I do what I'm told, talk to talk
Hope the demons walk the walk
My hands are dirtier, hell not!
What I feel, what I know, what I hear
It's over!

Chorus:
Your love's so cold
You raised me up and let me fall
You seek the truth,
For some become invisible.
With all this loss
You took my heart to'
But that's your heart
And that becomes invisible

It's the end,
It is over!
It's the end,
It is over!
It's the end,
It is over!
It's the end,
It is over!
It's the end,
It is over!
It's the end,
It is over!

When life goes on, I'm without you
You move to town and that's a rule
Winter's cold and so are you!
Close the door, say no more
I was shocked, feel no loss
Take it or leave it'

Feel the rush now without you
I was what we know is always over!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Annie's song "Invisible" describe a tumultuous relationship between two people who seem to be constantly at odds with each other. The first verse sets the scene for the emotional turmoil that is to come, with the singer asking if their partner will call them later and lamenting the fact that they are never home. The chorus reveals that the partner's love is cold and they have a tendency to raise the singer up only to let them fall, while also highlighting their desire for truth and the fact that some people become invisible. The second verse finds the singer admitting to their own mistakes and asking for forgiveness, but also acknowledging that they can be a devil in the dark who talks the talk but may not walk the walk. The song concludes with the singer saying goodbye to their partner and declaring that they can move on without them.

Overall, "Invisible" appears to be a song about a toxic relationship and the difficulty of letting go. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner have been through a lot together, but that ultimately their love is not enough to sustain them. The chorus's mention of some people becoming invisible may refer to the feeling of being unseen or unheard in a relationship, or the way that a partner can stop caring about their significant other's feelings and needs.
