The singer basked in plenty of sunshine and smiles in Miami, where she recently shot a video for her infectious, high-energy new single “Paradise“with award-winning Slovakian music video director Roland Wranik.
“Shooting with Annie in Miami was amazing. There were five people from my crew, everybody came from Slovakia. The video is focused on emotion of young girls how they enjoy their life,” said Wranik.

On “Paradise,” which features a cool rap by CrooKid, she dreams: “We’re on our way to Paradise/We’re leavin’ this and landin’ in a dream/Like a lucky pair of dice…you’re winning when you’re crashing into me…so here we go…”
“Paradise‘ paints the picture of my ‘happy place’ and perfect getaway,” Annie says. “This song was inspired by a time when I thought nothing was going my way. I was stressed out from school, the weather sucked, it was cold, and all I wanted to do was escape to my own private island. Think about the time when you throw your hands up and say ‘I need a vacation!’ That’s Paradise.”
The recently released track is available via iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/
Earlier this year, Annie released her debut single “Hot Lipz,” another trackcaptured her optimism, sense of romance and the fact that she thinks it’s cool for girls to be forward and go after what they want.

NEW SINGLE ‘PARADISE’
NASHVILLE - Though she’ll always be an Oregon farm girl at heart, emerging pop/rock songstress and songwriter Annie Bany (http://www.anniebany.com/) is excited to bring her fun, fresh, playful and edgy vibe to a whole new dimension on the infectious, high-energy new single“Paradise” now available on iTunes.
In the song, which features a cool rap by CrooKid, she dreams: “We’re on our way to Paradise/We’re leavin’ this and landin’ in a dream/Like a lucky pair of dice…you’re winning when you’re crashing into me…so here we go…”
“Paradise’ paints the picture of my ‘happy place’ and perfect getaway: Hawaii,” Annie says. “This song was inspired by a time when I thought nothing was going my way. I was stressed out from school, the weather sucked, it was cold, and all I wanted to do was escape to my own private island. Think about the time when you throw your hands up and say ‘I need a vacation!’ That’s Paradise.”
She adds, “Of course everyone has that special someone they want to take along with them to paradise, so this song is also about running away with a person you’re crushin’ on. ‘Salt in the air, yeah we’re there, laying lazy in the heat, surf guitars seeing stars, poppin bottles on the beach’ is my favorite line.”
