FIRST LISTEN: Anne Dereaux Releases New Single 'Chop'

Anne Dereaux's newest single "Chop" produced by FKi 1st, is out now! The catchy track, "Chop" is from the Los Angeles-based singer's upcoming debut EP, Book of Lolita, set to release this summer. The third 'chapter,' "Chop," follows hypnotic single, "Mourning," and "Rock Away,". Named "Best New Artist of April 2017" by Pigeons & Planes, Anne has made a big splash since her debut as a solo artist. Immediately, "Mo(u)rning" caught the attention of legendary producer Rick Rubin and it led the two to connect at Shangri-La. Her music has been featured on The Fader, Highsnobiety and Earmilk, just to name a few, and her impeccable style was showcased in The Coveteur's "New Wave" editorial series. Furthermore, in April, she appeared in the finale of HBO's hit series, Big Little Lies. Check out t a first listen to 'Chop' below:

Set to release summer 2017, Book of Lolita is inspired by an alter ego Anne created when she was eight years old. "I would turn into 'Lolita' when I was tired of my mundane life as a stressed second grader (haha)," Anne explains, "and my mom would legit get worried because I wouldn't break character for days at a time. It was just the space I wanted to occupy, where I could think, and feel, and express myself as I pleased." From Lolita's voice, the 6-track EP is sometimes idealistic, sometimes naive; it is equally sensitive as it is abrasive; and it is honestly and deeply entrenched in the journey of self-discovery.

Hailing from Nashville and now based in Los Angeles, for this debut project, Anne is writing alongside renowned producers, including FKi 1st of Mad Decent (Post Malone, Travis Scott, 2Chainz), Trakmatik of Roc Nation (Elijah Blake, Common, Goapele) REO (Beyoncé, Bruno Mars) and Soraya LaPread (A.Chal, Jojo).
