A singer/songwriter with an operatic voice and virtuosic guitar skills, Anna Calvi makes powerful, passionate music influenced by flamenco, goth rock, and classical composers such as Ravel and Debussy. On early albums like 2011's Anna Calvi and 2013's One Breath, she used the formidable strength of her voice and guitar to express archetypal lust and heartache. Later, on 2018's Hunter, she adopted a looser, more vulnerable style as she challenged conventional notions of sexuality and gender identity. As Calvi's music has evolved and expanded to include projects such as scoring the TV series Peaky Blinders, which was collected on 2024's Peaky Blinders: Seasons 5 & 6 soundtrack, the intensity of her work has never wavered. Neither has her critical acclaim, which includes multiple Mercury Prize nominations.
