Fil-Can singer-songwriter Annie Lux releases new single ‘self talk’

“I didn’t really plan for it to be something to release,” this was Filipino Canadian Annie Lux’s initial description of her latest single “self talk.” But this March 18, she is now sharing this song that she considers to be a very personal one for everyone to hear.

Like many artists, songwriters weave works that may not be for public consumption for various reasons.

“I don’t know about other songwriters, but I think [for] most songwriters…  we have songs we put out and then we have our own songs that are kind of just like our ‘passion songs’ that we don’t really share with the world, cause the world might not get it,” Annie shared in an interview with the Philippine Canadian Inquirer (PCI).

However, “self talk” is now ready to be played for everyone’s ears.

And for Annie, this move is a challenge for her to be a more ‘vulnerable’ musician.

She shared that “self talk” is pretty much what the title says, a message for herself, “It’s me telling myself to get back up.”

According to her, the song was written during a time when she was in a “dark mental space.”

“So, I was just telling myself to get back up, and to set boundaries, and say that I’m done and tell myself that I’m enough,” she told PCI.

The singer-songwriter emphasized that the song is all about her being really honest – and that reflects in its melody as well.

“I’m excited for Filipinos and just for the world to hear it,” she said.
