Anne-Marie invites fans to intimate album listening party with a twist
'Unhealthy' is out soon
Listening parties are fairly popular amongst artists and their fans, as they release a new album, but 'Unhealthy' singer Anne-Marie has switched things up a bit and announced a colouring room for her fans.
Taking to Instagram to announce she will be holding a colouring room next week for just 25 fans, Anne-Marie shared a video explaining the concept.
In the video the singer told her fans: 'Hello everyone! Now if you know me, you know I love colouring in books, always have, I created one for my last album, I think... my own drawings. So, what I'm going to do for the release of this third album 'Unhealthy', I'm creating an unhealthy colouring room, where you can come and join me, colouring in the walls! I've drawn loads of unhealthy food, which was probably my favourite thing to do last week."
Anne-Marie continued: "But there's some information I need to tell you, first of all, it's on the 19th July, so very soon. And second of all, I might just play you some tracks from the album, that no one's heard before, just for fun!
"The problem is, there's only 25 spaces, and that's for you and a friend, so all you have to do is pre-order 'Unhealthy', any format from my website in the next 48 hours. You only have 48 hours, so go preorder it and a few of you will be chosen to come and spend a day with me colouring in, and listening to music."
Since announcing her unusual idea, fans have been flocking to her socials, revealing they'd love to be involved. One fan wrote: 'i will be in london already so I beg😭😭🤣🤣' (sic), another commented: 'We love colouring 🖍️ can't wait to see you again '.
'Unhealthy' is Anne-Marie's third album, and the follow-up to her 2021 record 'Therapy'. Her new album will be released on 28th July, and features several huge hits including, 'Sad', 'Psycho' featuring Aitch and the title track 'Unhealthy' with Shania Twain.
Speaking backstage at Isle of Wight festival, Anne-Marie told us what it felt like releasing new music. "I mean, it's always weird when you release something because it's your baby innit?" she said. "And you're so proud of it, and you just don't know what people are going to think or say. I just hope that people will like it, and it's my third one now, so (I) should be used to it by now!"
