Anne-Marie Announces Debut Album SPEAK YOUR MIND Out April 27  Image

Following the launch of her mammoth new single "FRIENDS" alongside Marshmello, Anne-Marie is delighted to announce details of her debut album Speak Your Mind, out April 27, on Warner Bros. Records. Anne-Marie's previous tracks "Ciao Adios", "Alarm", "Then", "Heavy" and her latest single "FRIENDS" will be available as instant grats with each pre-order of the album.

Speak Your Mind is the rich fruit of the past two years' work and a hyper-confident artistic statement. On her debut offering Anne-Marie's playfully infectious pop spirit entwines with her celebrated humor, charisma and idiosyncratic storytelling - attributes that have set her apart from her peers and seen her become one of the UK's most-loved female breakthrough stars of recent years. A sonic masterclass,Speak Your Mind spans a number of personal yet relatable topics that only Anne-Marie could unite so compellingly: album opener "Cry" is a message to the ex-boyfriend who wants you back after ditching you for someone else; the empowering "Perfect" is an ode to self-love and appreciation; the vulnerable "Machine" imagines a world free of the negativity and worry that life throws at you; while "2002" - a track Anne-Marie co-wrote with long-time friend and champion Ed Sheeran - recalls memories of a childhood sweetheart.

The Essex-born star commands an all-star cast of producers on her debut LP including Steve Mac (Ed Sheeran), Nana Rogues (Drake), TMS (Emelie Sande), Tom Meredith (One Direction) and of course, Marshmello. Co-writes come from Emily Warren (Chainsmokers, Shawn Mendes), Ina Wroldsen (Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne), Jennifer Decilveo (Andra Day) and the aforementioned Ed Sheeran.

Since its release earlier this month, Marshmello and Anne-Marie's new single "FRIENDS" is proving to be a worldwide hit. The friend zone anthem is officially the highest debuted track, globally, for a British female in 2018. "FRIENDS" is Top 10 on Spotify's Global charts after only two weeks.

With 5 x BRIT Award nominations, 5 billion streams and 12 million global single sales under her belt, Anne-Marie's rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. Bursting onto the scene in 2016, Anne-Marie released her UK Top 20 breakthrough hit "Alarm" which went Gold in the U.S. Anne-Marie was also featured on Clean Bandit's "Rockabye" with Sean Paul which went to #4 at Top 40 Radio, #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart and is 2x Platinum in the U.S. Anne-Marie then supported long-time friend, Ed Sheeran, on his arena tour not to mention an array of festival appearances last summer including a support slot with Justin Bieber at London's British Summer Time festival. Anne-Marie will go on tour this Spring/Summer again with Ed Sheeran on the UK, Ireland, and European leg of his stadium tour, which will include 4 sold out nights at London's Wembley Stadium.
