Anna Margaret Michelle Calvi (born 24 September 1980) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. Her eponymous debut album was released in the United Kingdom in 2011 and was nominated for the Mercury Prize and earned her a nomination for British Breakthrough Act at the 2012 Brit Awards. Her second album One Breath was released in 2013 through Domino Records and was also nominated for the Mercury Prize.[3]

Early life

Anna Calvi was born Anna Margaret Michelle Calvi on 24 September 1980[4][5] in Twickenham to an English mother and Italian father, both of whom are therapists.[6][7] She spent most of the first three years of her life in a hospital undergoing treatment and surgeries to correct congenital hip dysplasia.[8] "The way I dealt with that was to create my own world. And that's what my relationship with music is – a world of my own creation that I escape into. I was always a dreamer. The early things stick with you," she later remembered.[9] Calvi grew up being exposed to a multitude of genres of music by her music-loving Italian father; this eclectic array ranged from Captain Beefheart to The Rolling Stones to Maria Callas, combined with an early understanding of classical music, "I was so taken by the sound. Whenever I saw an instrument I would get so excited and my heart would beat really fast."[6]

Calvi first picked up the violin at 6, and guitar at 8.[10] "Something would take me over whenever I'd seen an electric guitar," she later recalled. By the age of 10 she was using a double cassette karaoke machine to overdub her playing.[7] She came to be much influenced by 20th century composers Messiaen, Ravel, and Debussy, attracted "to the impressionistic element of the music", and would try to recreate this feeling on the guitar, an instrument she was compelled to learn on discovering Django Reinhardt and Jimi Hendrix at the age of 13.

Calvi originally intended to study art, but instead opted for a degree in music. She attended University of Southampton where she studied violin and guitar, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2003.[11] After graduating, Calvi worked as a guitar teacher, giving private lessons to help finance her music career until 2010.[12][13] In October 2015, having been previously nominated twice for the award herself, Calvi joined the panel again to decide the winner of the 2015 Mercury Prize. The panel also features Nick Mulvey, Corinne Bailey Rae and broadcaster John Kennedy.[14]

Music career

2008-2010: Early projects

Calvi did not begin singing until her mid-twenties. "I had a phobia about it until five years ago," she said in 2011. "I wouldn't sing in school or even in the shower. I had this emotional block about hearing my voice. So the guitar became my voice when I was a teenager, it was how I could express myself."[6] In an effort to find her own voice Calvi has spoken of how she would lock herself in a room for long periods of time, singing along to records by Edith Piaf and Nina Simone.[7]

Calvi formed several bands, including Cheap Hotel,[15] who released one download-only single (New York), which did not chart. Calvi later met multi-instrumentalist Mally Harpaz and drummer Daniel Maiden-Wood, who eventually formed her band.

At an early gig, Calvi caught the attention of Bill Ryder-Jones who urged Laurence Bell of Domino Records to sign her. Early support also came from Brian Eno, who heard about Calvi through a friend. He has since become her unofficial mentor describing her during a BBC 6 Music interview as "the biggest thing since Patti Smith."[16]

In the autumn of 2009 Calvi recorded a series of filmed Attic Sessions that were uploaded onto YouTube, including a cover of Leonard Cohen's Joan of Arc, Elvis Presley's Surrender, TV on the Radio's Wolf Like Me and David Bowie's Sound & Vision.[17]

Calvi played guitar on the track The Prizefighter and the Heiress on Johnny Flynn's album Been Listening,[18][19] and in October 2009 she went on to support Flynn on tour.[20]

In 2010 Calvi supported Interpol on their UK tour, as well as label-mates the Arctic Monkeys at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.[21] Nick Cave also invited her to support Grinderman across Europe in October 2010.[22]

On 11 October 2010, Calvi released her debut solo single Jezebel, a 1951 song originally written by Wayne Shanklin and made famous by Frankie Laine and French chanteuse Edith Piaf. Both Jezebel and the B-side Moulinette were recorded by Rob Ellis, and released on limited edition 7" and digital download.[23] Live versions of both Jezebel and Moulinette were filmed at The Luminaire venue in London by Emma Nathan, who also created the vinyl artwork.[24]

2011-2012: Debut album

Anna Calvi released her debut album[21] in the UK and Europe through Domino Records on 17 January 2011, to critical acclaim. It entered the official UK charts at number 40,[25] and achieved similar success across Europe, charting at 17 in France, 33 in Austria, 40 in Switzerland, 55 in Sweden and 70 in Germany.[26] In France, according to Q magazine, Calvi "has become an overnight star, the album debuting in the Top 20."[7] The album was released in USA, Australia, and Japan on 1 March 2011.[27]

Calvi co-produced the album with long-term PJ Harvey collaborator Rob Ellis.[28] Brian Eno sang backing vocals on Desire and Suzanne & I,[29] Dave Okumu from the band The Invisible sang backing vocals on the song No More Words, and long-term collaborator Emma Nathan created the album artwork.[30] "I see music quite visually and I like to create atmospheres... I like to try and create a whole world in the space of a song,"[31] explained Calvi. In an interview with the Telegraph Calvi said of writing the album "'I imagine the different instruments as colours, and so it feels like painting. I need music to come from a really emotional place. With my music I do like to hypnotise people and take them somewhere else. I like to slowly draw people into a world."[6]

NME gave the album 9 out of 10, describing it as NME described it as "sumptuous, seductive and a bit scary, this velvety debut will stalk your dreams.",[32] and stating that "this self-titled collection of 10 songs is perhaps the first great record of 2011."[32] Uncut magazine said "This isn't just a great debut. It's a fearless rejection of current pop trends, fashioning a benchmark of intensity and originality that the rest of this year's albums will struggle to match.",[33] whilst The Fly magazine called it an "arresting, sparse and darkly captivating listen."[34] The Evening Standard said "the raw talent is undeniable: 2011 is Calvi’s for the taking".[35]

Calvi launched the album to sold out show at the intimate Hoxton Hall in London on 27 January 2011.[3]

The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize, which went instead to PJ Harvey. In January 2012, Calvi was awarded the European Border Breakers Award.[36] Calvi was nominated in the Best British Breakthrough category at the BRIT Awards 2012.[37][38]

In the summer of 2012, Calvi was one of the judges for the Mercury Music Prize.[39]

Calvi took time off recording in November 2012 to sing on a Noah and The Whale song called "Heart of Nowhere", released in May 2013.[40]

2013-present: One Breath

Calvi announced on 5 August 2013 that her second album titled One Breath was to be released on Domino Records on 7 October.[41] Her announcement was accompanied by a trailer filmed by Emma Nathan.[42] The record was produced by John Congleton and recorded in Blackbox Studios, France as well as Elmwood Recording Studios, Texas.[43] Calvi has explained the title as: "One Breath is the moment before you've got to open yourself up, and it's about how terrifying that is. It's scary and it's thrilling. It's also full of hope, because whatever has to happen hasn't happened yet."

"Eliza"[44] was the first single from the album, followed by "Suddenly",[45] both featuring videos directed by Emma Nathan.

Calvi told Mojo magazine that whereas Anna Calvi was recorded on and off over three years, One Breath took just six weeks and was less of a challenge to complete than its predecessor.[46] Calvi has said that she had been listening to composers John Adams and Steve Reich, as well as choral music, for inspiration while writing the record.[2]

Anna Calvi talked to The Guardian about "One Breath" saying: “I wanted to explore the feeling of being out of control, and how this can be very scary and yet thrilling at the same time. It’s always important to me that the music tells the story as much as the lyrics, so I was very focused on creating rich textures and a lot of atmosphere for the songs to exist in. This record was made during quite a turbulent time in my life and I like the way I can feel that in the music when I listen back.”[47]

"One Breath" received critical praise upon release, with The Independent calling the new album “an LP that rumbles with lusty insistence, swoons with bliss, luxuriates in cinematic style and nudges Calvi’s emotive voice to fresh operatic heights”.[48]

The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize which went instead to Young Fathers. This is Anna Calvi's second Mercury Prize nomination.

Anna Calvi's first EP - a collection of covers titled "Strange Weather" - was released on 15 July 2014.[49] The EP featured David Byrne (Talking Heads) and consisted of songs by Keren Ann, FKA Twigs, Connan Mockasin, Suicide, and David Bowie.

The soundtrack will be released on 17 March through Interscope Records and features other artists including Woodkid, Lykke Li, M83, HAIM, Royal Blood, SOHN, Zella Day, and Imagine Dragons

Calvi is known for her intense guitar playing and live performance.[3] She has said that she tries to create the sounds of other instruments through her guitar. Visually, Calvi nods to the world of flamenco in her stage outfits, opting for the high trousers and blouse of a male dancer rather than the traditional frilled dress.[3]

Following her debut album release show at Hoxton Hall in London, Calvi won over critics with her "performance of superb self-possession and dramatic timing."[52] The Independent called her a "strumming seductress" who was "born to be heard in person" playing "with every ounce of passion."[53]

Style and influences

Calvi in 2011

Calvi frequently uses a (90s US) Fender Telecaster guitar and a vintage red Vox AC30 amp, both live and in the studio.[69] She has been called a virtuoso guitarist,[70] although her first instrument is the violin, in which she has a university degree. Calvi imagines playing guitar as an orchestra[71] and is noted for her particular style of playing which involves hitting the strings in a circular motion, rather than strumming up and down.[72] The result has been described by Q as "the prodigious wash of sound that recall Ennio Morricone, Duane Eddy, even Jimi Hendrix in its fluidity."[7]

Calvi has been compared to other female singers such as PJ Harvey and Siouxsie Sioux.[73] and is noted for her powerful operatic voice

Calvi's style has been described as dark, romantic, atmospheric pop.[74] The singer has said that the powers of lust are an inspiration, and her performances are deliberately sexually charged.[75] Calvi has cited Nina Simone, Maria Callas, the rock of Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, the blues of Captain Beefheart, the stage performances of David Bowie, Nick Cave, Morrissey and Scott Walker as well as classical composers Carlo Gesualdo,[76] Messiaen, Ravel and Debussy as among her influences.

Calvi has also spoken of the influence of the films of Gus Van Sant, Wong Kar-Wai and David Lynch on her music. She admires "people that make beautiful films where the cinematography tells the story", and tries to do the same in her own work.[77]

In 2011 British artist Joe Simpson painted a portrait of Calvi, which was exhibited around the UK including a solo exhibition at The Royal Albert Hall.[78]
