Anna Neale - Heretic (2026) [Hi-Res]

Heretic is a raw, defiant alternative record that cuts through industry ego, misogyny and coercive power with sharp lyricism, dark humour and emotional force. Rooted in neurodivergent lived experience, it balances sensuality and vulnerability with moments of anger, clarity and hard-won self-knowledge. A fearless statement from an artist reclaiming autonomy after decades in the music industry.

Produced by Mercury Prize–nominated Gerry Diver (Graham Coxon, Paul Heaton), the album features collaborations with Dave Rowntree (Blur), Victoria Horn (Death in Vegas, David Guetta), Patch Hannan (The Sundays) and Julian Swales (Kitchens of Distinction). Former BBC broadcaster Dan Chisholm has described Heretic as “as culturally important today as Jagged Little Pill was in the 90s.”

Heretic is a defiant, timely statement from an artist who refuses to be quiet — or compliant.
