Annapantsu is a musician, voice actress and YouTuber from Nova Scotia, Canada. She’s become quite a prominent presence on YouTube due to he covers of various songs, and her collaborations with other YouTubers like Caleb Hyles and Jonathan Young. We’ve covered Anna before on Indie Light, and you can click here to read more. Today, though, I’ll be reviewing her cover of ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush, which was released to her YouTube channel July 10th 2022. 

‘Running Up That Hill’ is already such a sensational track, and yet Annapantsu elevates it, her voice is truly beautiful, and has the appropriate gravity and weight to it, the soulfulness and energy and aching pain that the original possesses. She delivers all that while adding in her own vibrancy and freshness to the track. I liked the Stranger Things version, but I’m glad that Anna didn’t go too heavy on synth for her version, instead she allowed her own vocal talents to really sell this performance. I did like the heavier percussion, and the light synthy tones though, they all came together to perfect support but not overpower the singing. This was just an amazing cover, that really shows what a talented artist can do. 

So that’s what I thought of Annapantsu’s cover of ‘Running Up That Hill’ 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.
