Annika Bennett - Triple Shooting Star (2025) Hi-Res

So after taking a little break from music with too much feeling, I was in no way prepared for Anika Bennett’s emotionally charged Triple Shooting Star this week.

I feel I’ve already admitted to crying to far too much music this year, but I’ve been quietly sobbing along to this one since A Cure. It’s a beautiful, moving collection of tracks in which Annika lays bare so many insecurities.

This year feels like it’s all been about women making real music, and Triple Shooting Star is no exception. It’s a deeply self-reflective collection and there’s something about this vulnerability that just gets me. There’s a certain bravery in choosing to put these moments out into the world when you’re not feeling your finest, to be able to look back over the debris of a failed relationship and release you didn’t always make the right choice.
