Annie is finally back with her new album The A&R EP, which drops on August 5th. While we've been waiting since 2009 for some new Annie jams, the Norwegian singer seems to have the year 1999 on the brain: her new video for "Back Together" is all about the long, lost years of music video countdown shows. Annie's version has a definite eurotrash Total Request Live/Dance Dance Revloution feel to it, and as she sings in front of a candy-colored kaleidoscopic background in her own splashy ensembles, we relived our early MTV-and-VH1-filled adolescence. The little fun facts about Annie flashing on the screen are a great touch: turns out she has a greenbelt and at some point she injured Richard X, the producer of The A&R EP. Maybe she karate-chopped him because she was so blitzed by all of the colors swirling around her? Or because she got too nostalgic? Watch and hypothesize, above.
