What people are saying:

  • "[Blackman is] poised for a breakthrough as one of this year’s most distinctive young singer-songwriters. Her new EP, Bug, is a tightly composed five-song cycle about bad dates and breakups, with verses full of sly humor and bittersweet truths."

    — Rolling Stone

  • "She endures as one of the best diaristic, heartaching troubadours we’ve got, pairing sorrow with splendid arrangements."

    — Paste Magazine

  • "... Annie Blackman’s 'Bug' represents an ambitious songwriting endeavor from the Brooklyn-based artist, who mixed similes and memories of being pushed too far with airy harmonies and a taut indie-rock arrangement. When Blackman’s voice reaches skyward during the makeshift hook ... we receive one of the most tender pop moments of the year."
