I Am Harlequin
I Am Harlequin is to release the brand new single ‘Onesome’ on March 12th along with an exclusive remix of the track by Killahurtz.
The track is already winning huge radio support from BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, and playlisted on both Q Radio and NME Radio.
Recently named number 17 in the Last.fm New Discovery Charts, I am Harlequin is the creation of German-born, London-based musician Anne Freier who writes, records and produces all her own music.
For ‘Onesome’, the first track taken from I Am Harlequin’s forthcoming EP, Anne has created a beautiful, hook-laden and heartfelt call to going it alone;
"Onesome is a love song to oneself. I was fed up with relationships when I first wrote it and believe that respecting and liking yourself has to come first.
"I know a lot of people who cannot be by themselves, and perhaps I subconsciously wrote it to give them a little encouragement. Being alone has its perks."
The accompanying remix by renowned dubstep producer Killahurtz takes ‘Onesome’ further, pushing the track towards a celebratory dance explosion;
"I am Harlequin is a brilliant new talent, her voice as quirky and unique as her sense of style. I've always been a fan of original bands like The Cure, The Smiths, etc, but not so much recent band-based acts.
I Am Harlequin captures that calibre of originality in sound and fashion that I believe it takes to become a truly credible artist.
It was a pleasure to work with and remix her material, above all I look forward to hear what's to come from her and remix her next big song, listen to her!" Killahurtz
Following acclaimed performances throughout 2011, including at Music Week Breakout, The O2 Sessions, Liverpool Sound City, Boardmasters Festival, Brighton Festival, and Last.fm Last Friday’s, 2012 is looking set to be a huge year for Anne Freier and I Am Harlequin.
"I can't wait to see what's going to happen in 2012. The last year has already been so exciting. There's a lot more going on in terms of releases and videos this year and besides all of this I am also planning my first little commercial line of clothing. Bring on 2012!"
‘Onesome’ is released on March 12th, ahead of I Am Harlequin’s debut EP due out this summer.
