Hear Alan Braxe’s new song with Annie, “Never Coming Back”

French house artist Alan Braxe has teamed up with Annie for his latest single. “Never Coming Back” is Annie‘s first new song since the 2021 EP Neon Nights, and it appears on the reissued and expanded version of The Upper Cuts, Braxe and Fred Falke’s album from 2005. It’s out on March 31 via Smugglers Way.

“I first met Annie virtually, just listening to her vocals as I was remixing her song ‘Heartbeat’ in 2005,” Braxe said in a press release. “I could hear in her voice both softness and strength and I found it very touching. Since then I always thought that we should work on a song one day. Last year I sent her an instrumental demo and when she then told me that she was up for it, we recorded the vocals in Bergen, Norway and chose the theme of escaping a problematic relationship and regaining freedom.” 

“I’ve been such a fan of Alan Braxe and the universe of French house for years,” added Annie, “and to me it’s the ultimate party music… takes me to the best place every time I listen to these ultimate classics. Years ago Alan B did a brilliant remix of my own single ‘Heartbeat,’ so it was so fun to do a track together after all this time. ‘Never Coming Back’ is basically about someone getting out of a toxic relationship. Tired of the past, looking for the future, and this time you’re finally on your own and ready for something new.”
