Getting To Know Anna Haas

Editors Note: You can grab your free download of “Maypole” by Anna Haas on Uloop Music!

Equal parts theatrical and tender, singer-songwriter Anna Haas offers a dynamic mix on her debut album Crazy Is, which released last fall. The Nashville-turned-New-Yorker enchants on one track and then haunts on the next with an amalgam that doesn’t work on paper and would falter in lesser hands. However Haas is right at home on both a beautiful ballad like “Find Your Home” and the stage-ready “Maypole,” the latter of which is today’s featured download!

“Maypole” begins with a whimsy that reminds of Brooke Waggoner and circles and moves about like a musical number. Haas explains that her two homes come together on her album to blend such environments, and “Maypole” best expresses that.

“I’m in love with both New York and Nashville. The culture of each is a distinct part of me. I don’t want to choose. I want to continue to be inspired by both. Those two cities are my home,” says Haas.

While most songwriters do well to define their genre, Haas is less concerned about the categories she’s placed inside or attending to any musical norms. Instead, she follows her instincts that are more concerned about a lyrical expression that remains true to the person behind it all.

“I love to entertain, and constantly hunger for the opportunity. But, I care most about writing the truth, and creating a pure and honest reflection of what it means to be human from my personal experiences and observations,” says Haas.

Fans of Brooke Waggoner and Fiona Apple will find a lot to love in the music of Anna Haas, so don’t miss your chance to download “Maypole” today. In addition, you can check out the official video here.
