Melanie Le Roux lived several lives for Anna Wolf to be reborn through turbulent times. On her five-track alternative pop EP Romance Was Born, the South African-born, London-based singer exquisitely traverses the broody lows and bleeding highs of her vocal range to convey a depth of feeling that’s both dramatic and visceral. From the orchestrally grandiose “Dreaming Again” to the industrial-tinged “Heaven Breathes Out,” each song was fashioned by Wolf to tell tall tales through vivid imagery and stories, amplified by the work of her award-winning producer, Matthew Fink. Wolf has taken many musical shapes to form the complex and compelling songwriter she is now, and the result is an artist who never shies away from digging to the depths of her lyrical soul.
