ANA ZIMMER YOUNG AND BRAVE

The emergence of Lana Del Rey - and her cinematic take on classicist pop - has spawned a lot of bad music in the years that followed. But thankfully, every once in a while, an artist comes along with a fresh take on the sub-genre, transcending the flock of pastiche-makers - step forward newcomer Ana Zimmer. Born in Paris to German-Russian and American parents, the young Ana discovered her knack for songwriting at 19; now her first fully formed release, 'Young And Brave' is making waves on the internet with its blend of muted beats, blossoming synths, and crystalline vocals. Another talent out of Paris to keep an eye on. - DC
