New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On October 2, singer/songwriter Brooke Annibale will release her fourth full-length studio album The
Simple Fear. A former Nashville resident now based in her hometown Pittsburgh, Annibale questions apprehension of the unknown future, basic life expectations, and the fear that those expectations might not be met. Today, Earmilk debuted the album's first single "Remind Me," calling it "one of Annibale's best. Evident, is her ability to build momentum and fully develop the sound while also keeping two feet on the ground, which is an especially rare encounter within her genre."

"We all have doubts about whether we are doing the right thing, are in the right place, or are progressing the way we should," says Annibale. "The uncertainty of achieving whatever you might want out of life or pursuing a path that leads to however you want your life to develop can be unnerving sometimes. I had to deal with the struggle of letting go of the past and moving forward. Fear is always complicated, but it's simple in the sense that we all have certain fears in common at some point in our lives."
Recorded at Smoakstack Studios in Nashville, The
Simple Fear picks up where the likes of Kathleen Edwards and The Swell Season's last records left off. Producer/engineer Justin March (Cold War Kids, Leagues,
Kelly Clarkson) boldly showcases Annibale's songs in a relevant, experimental, yet timeless exposition. It progresses what it means to be labeled a "singer-songwriter" or to have the word "folk" attached as a descriptor. The album's centerpiece lays in Annibale's subtle groove and alluring style encased in layers of beautiful strings, guitar, piano, and percussion. However, it's her magnetic voice, that smoldering and irresistible delivery, that draws you in.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Annibale's grandfather opened a music retail and live-sound business in the 1960's, that is still family-run today. Nurtured by an ever-present musical surrounding, Annibale started young, writing as early as 8 years old and taking up guitar as a teenager. She released her first album at age 17 titled Memories in Melody. She soon took her passion for songwriting and performing to Nashville where she recorded and released two more albums and two EPs over the course of six years: The Nashville EP (2006), The In Between (2008), Silence Worth Breaking (2011), and Words In Your Eyes EP (2013). With an impressive resume as an independent and entrepreneurial artist, her songs have appeared on TV over a dozen times with popular programs such as Pretty
Little Liars, One Tree Hill, and The Vampire Diaries.
