In recent weeks, on social networks, she used a red-filtered dramatic artwork to suggest the arrival of a new album. The date of its release was announced to fans today, as well as the autumn tour dates. Her third album, Hunter, will go public on 31 August. It will feature musicians such as Adrian Utley of Portishead and Martyn Casey of The Bad Seeds. Along with the album, she also released a video for the first single “Do not Beat The Girl Out Of My Boy”. The single depicts the main ideas of the album—the overthrowing of gender barriers and stereotypes. It criticizes, for example, that children are forced to follow patterns, when we teach boys not to cry. Anna said about the album and the things she was hunting for with it: “I want experiences, I want agency, I want sexual freedom, I want intimacy, I want to feel strong, I want to feel protected and I want to find something beautiful in all the mess.” Come and get a beautiful thing delivered by Anna Calvi on12 November in Nová Cvernovka, Bratislava.
