It has arrived–the full version of Annie‘s upcoming single, “Anthonio,” off of her cruelly titled, forever delayed sophomore album, Don’t Stop.

It is, of course, brilliant. AND YES, THERE’S A MASSIVE KEY CHANGE AT THE END.

And, if we are to believe her label, this is the alleged round-up of release types for “Anthonio”:

ITEM1
12″
Original Mix, Fred Falke Mix, Designer Drugs Remix, Berlin Breakdown Version.
(This is limited to 500 worldwide so don’t blame us if you pick it up then put it down again and next time it’s gone)

ITEM1DE
Digital EP

(New exclusive Vaughn_E remix and what’s this, a brand new bonus track..?!?)

“Ferret Summer”? Sounds like a bad experience during summer camp in the 7th grade–I don’t want to talk about it.

Oh, Anthonio!

PS–have you Tweeted me yet? Well, why not? I think I deserve to know what type of dressing you’re putting on your salad as much as the next Tom, Dick, or Harold.

Call me, tweet me…if you want to reach me.

Adios, Island Records…Hello, Richard X!

There hasn’t been too much buzz about it, but Annie is planning a proper release for February 2009! This time, it’s going to see the light of day…I can feel it.

The track, called “Ánthonio,” will be packaged under Richard X’s label, Black Melody, along with two remixes: One by Designer Drugs, and one by Fred Falke. I love the title…It’s very Hercules & Love Affair. Let’s hope it’s aurally similar as well (with a few more synths added in for good measure)!

Along with that, the Nordic electro-doll is already preparing a second release closely after “Ánthonio.” You’re spoiling us, darling! Says Annie-kins on her blog of the impending releases:

Been working a lot on getting the sleeve ready for my next single…it..s a great designer who..s living in Berlin that..s gonne do it,so mailing him all kinds of ideas,pix etc…so exited bout Ánthonio….. I..m also preparing another single that will be out close to Ánthonio.., so for next year I..ll release records as often as possible,music for your ears.oh yeah

She loves punctuation. Really, she does.

In celebration, a random track from Annie’s catalog: Her collabo with The Teddybears!

DL: Annie – Yours To Keep (Mediafire)

And if there’s no further updates today…I hope you and yours have a simply smashing New Years celebration!

See you in 2009!
