Anna or Annapantsu, as she’s known online is a singer, voice actress and YouTuber based in Nova Scotia, Canada. She’s collaborated with other YouTubers Caleb Hyles and Jonathan Young, who we’ve covered before on Indie Light. Today I’ll be reviewing her cover of ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ from The Little Mermaid soundtrack, which was released October 3rd 2021.

‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ opens with the familiar swelling music, which supports Anna’s voice perfectly, speaking of which Pat Carroll’s performance in The Little Mermaid was spectacular but man Anna not only lives up to this high quality but brings a great energy to the track. I think what I like is that her voice just has a rich, melodic note to it, it’s no surprise then that they also voice act. I’ve talked about this before but when reviewing a track I’ll listen two it a few times just on its own, and then I’ll have it on while I’m writing the review, but for this one I could not stop listening to it. Anna manages to blend in the authentic emotional range displayed in the performance, the melodrama, the false modesty, the sweetness and all the while make it her own. 

So that’s what I thought of Annapantsu’s cover of ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ and if you want to check that out for yourself then head on over to YouTube. While you’re at it, support the artist by checking out their website, becoming a Patreon and by following them on Twitter and Instagram.
