Annie Music Video Release Party

In Early April 2010 Marta traveled to NYC to work with award winning Director Devaashish Khanna on a music video for the track 'Annie' off her forthcoming album.

Khanna had been in NYC in October 09 and witnessed an early performance of the song in a candle lit hotel room in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and had a vision to re-create what he experienced as an 'intimate confession'.

His vision was to record the vocals with a boom mic using the natural acoustics of the room as apposed to the traditional process of syncing to a pre-recorded track. The music video was shot at the infamous 'Hotel Chelsea' in a palatial suite with soaring ceilings and wooden floors yielding fabulous live acoustics.

In 'Annie', Khanna pays homage to french cinema with Marta showing an uncanny resemblance to a young Catherine Deneuve while delivering an emotionally vulnerable portrayal of a woman (Annie) who is haunted by a life of detachment and lust. Marta says the song is not autobiographical, rather an observation of the complex human instinct to seek intimacy, validation and ultimately acceptance.
