Annabel Gutherz Releases New Single "Shame"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 04/10/2024

Canadian singer and songwriter Annabel Gutherz has released her new single, "Shame". Following the success of her latest single, "Eclipse," this new track continues to introduce listeners to Annabel's unique blend of classic rock influences and modern pop sounds. "Shame" was co-written with and produced by Mikal Blue (OneRepublic, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat) and Bret "Epic" Mazur (Crazy Town, Prince, The Black Eyed Peas).

“Shame” is an open-hearted single about acknowledging and overcoming relationship insecurities. Underscored by full-bodied instrumentation, Annabel wields her sharp lyricism and sonorous vocals to explore anxiety, comparison, and self-doubt. She elaborates, "'Shame’ is about the ruminations that can arise about your partner’s former relationships and the invasive fears that often emerge as a result."

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Annabel Gutherz creates timeless music that speaks to the soul of what it means to be human. Characterized by her compelling storytelling, honeyed melodies, distinct vocals, and keen musical intuition, her songs take listeners on a heartfelt journey packed with raw honesty and emotional conviction.

Since the release of her 2021 album, Loose Ends, Annabel has continued to develop her sound by working with an array of esteemed collaborators, including Bleu McAuley (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers) and Bonnie Hayes (Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, David Crosby). Fiercely committed to her craft, Annabel graduated with a baccalaureate and master’s degree from Berklee College of Music. With her undeniable talent and more music in the works for 2024, Annabel is certainly an artist worth keeping on your radar.
