Blistering, fearless, and unforgettable, Anna Thoresen stuns with raw magnetism on “DIRTY LAUNDRY.”


Anna Thoresen has been on our radar for a while, and with every release, she keeps pushing boundaries in ways that demand attention. A true multi-hyphenate, she is a writer, producer, performer, and instrumentalist. Anna is a storm of talent wrapped in sharp instincts and fearless delivery. Her creative fingerprint is unmistakable, and it has been thrilling to watch her expand her reach while staying true to her voice.


Her newest single “DIRTY LAUNDRY” kicks the door open with a messy, emotionally charged punch that refuses to play it safe. The music video sets the scene with a nostalgic VCR aesthetic. It shows Anna sweeping the floor and lounging on laundry machines in a killer outfit that instantly screams personality. The visuals are more than just eye-catching; they are revealing. She is not afraid to show the ugly, the weird, and the unhinged, which makes her storytelling all the more magnetic. What also struck us was just how fully realized her branding already is. She is not just an emerging voice. She is arriving with a full vision.


What follows is a cascade of relatable, messy moments: Anna arguing on the phone, smashing guitars, cleaning through clenched teeth. Each scene is woven tightly with the lyrical thread of “DIRTY LAUNDRY.” It is a cleverly orchestrated chaos that echoes the turmoil of a toxic relationship.


The sonic pacing is steady, pulsing, and then eruptive, and it carries the weight of the narrative beautifully. When Anna’s vocals finally kick in, it is the rush we were waiting for. Her voice is rich and commanding and moves effortlessly from soaring highs to breathy tension.


Her phrasing is full of intentional space, making each lyric land harder. What also hits is the lyrical refrain, pulsing with the ache of someone who has been dismissed one too many times. This is heartbreak told from the front lines. The performance walks the line between agony and catharsis. Anna delivers every word like it has been burning in her chest for years.


The midway interlude is a fiery, escalating argument that feels pulled straight from real life. It drives home the stakes in a visceral way. Visually, she goes all in. From manic laughter to deadpan stares, she commands the screen with a presence that suggests she is just as much an actor as a musician. Her physical expressions, whether she is puking from too many shots or throwing herself across a couch, are not played for shock. They are played for honesty.


The true standout here is Anna Thoresen’s performance, and that’s what becomes the real shining moment. Her vocal delivery is a perfect match for this genre; she's gritty, soulful, and emotionally changed, but even more than that, it stands out as something uniquely her own. Her tone is rough with a rock and roll edge, yet there’s a sharp technical brilliance that she unleashes at will. When she chooses to flex it, it’s clear there’s no world she can’t conquer. We’re definitely big fans and see major opportunities coming her way.


The musical arrangement only amplifies that energy. It is gritty, retro-flavored rock pop with a slightly unpolished mix that leans into its imperfections. That rawness makes it feel like you are listening to someone rip pages out of their diary in real time.


We are fully convinced. Anna Thoresen is a breakout force. “DIRTY LAUNDRY” is the kind of song that lives in your bones long after the final chorus. With her vocal range, cinematic instincts, and total creative control, she is going to be making serious waves. Count us locked in for whatever she releases next.





“DIRTY LAUNDRY” by Anna Thoresen is a gut-punch of vocal firepower, emotional intensity, and fearless artistry.



Anna Thoresen is a self-made artist from Los Angeles whose work carries the grit, heart, and soul of a one-woman band. In many cases, she literally is. Written, produced, and recorded entirely in her home studio, her latest work represents a shift toward full-spectrum artistry.


She pulls from influences like Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, and Janis Joplin, fusing emotional weight with vintage edge and modern intensity. She is not just performing songs. She is crafting experiences, and every choice feels intentional, from instrumentation to delivery.


With Danielle Koppell lending bass and guitar work, her latest material finds a rich, full-band sound that never compromises her vision.


We are so excited to have found her and cannot wait to hear more from Anna Thoresen!
