NEW ALBUM RELEASED ON 2/22/2018

“THE WAY I FEEL” is a deep journey into a wide, emotional world of feelings, confessions, thoughts, hopes and dreams. As the title of the record might imply, the music is indeed very personal. The songs are filled with many kaleidoscopic influences, delivering an unpredictable and colorful sound. Each song is like a different ingredient to an amazing sonic recipe, where the flavor is tantalizing and unexpected. This album is well-produced, catchy and fun to listen to, but more importantly, it is remarkably honest and easy to relate to. With “THE WAY I FEEL”, Ann Souren is on a quest to inspire, engage and connect with listeners.

“Ann Souren blew me away with this album! She floated from genre to genre effortlessly, and shared her experiences in various ways. Given her musical background and an extensive list of accolades, it’s no surprise that her album would contain so much exhilarating music.
Ann can bend her voice from tender and soulful to loud and in charge seamlessly, and she does not hesitate in showcasing her range at all. She brings us soul in its purest form, something music fans everywhere should appreciate. With that being said, It is really hard to pick a favorite song on this album — so I won’t; however, I will say this: unique musical artistry is alive and well thanks to Ann!”

Real full review of the album


“Ann Souren has been a fantastic songwriter, vocal coach, and a recording artist. The fact is that, if it’s music, Ann Souren has gotten her body, soul and spirit dip in it. So, when news of her new album started spreading like one of California’s wildfires, I couldn’t resist putting on my review glasses to dissect the reason why “The Way I Feel” is such a great hit.
Overall, this is a great album that’s worth every penny. The songs are catchy, fun-filled and you would want to listen to them again and again. But the most outstanding about this album is that it is significantly honest and easy to relate.
“The Way I Feel” is a project that presents her a charismatic line, hook, and sinker that will get to motivate, engage and connect with thousands of listeners, if not millions”
