Our Artist of the Week is Annie-Dog

Our Artist of the Week is Annie-Dog.

Irish artist Annie-Dog blends electronic production with soft, understated vocals, creating songs that feel intimate while still built for movement. Her latest single ‘My Honey’ highlights that balance, pairing a steady dance beat with a restrained, almost conversational delivery.

Listen to ‘My Honey’ Here:

The track focuses on miscommunication in relationships, using contrast rather than drama to get its point across. The production moves forward insistently, while the vocal sits gently within it, reflecting how easily messages can be missed when everything keeps moving too fast.

‘My Honey’ is a fully self-made release, with Annie-Dog handling the writing, recording, production and mixing herself.
