Release: Ana Popovic - “Power”

Ana Popovic Set To Release Newest Album “Power” Internationally renowned guitarist Ana Popovic has built her career on defining and describing, on her own terms, the essence of American music, simultaneously pushing limits, bending genres, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record. In the process, she’s emerged as one of the most thoughtful, dynamic, and committed performers in modern songwriting and guitar.

 Ana’s new album, Power, due for release on May 5, 2023, on Artiste Xclusive Records, brings those dynamics to the fore and, in the process, turns this set of songs into both a powerful and personal tale of survival through faith, determination and tenacity.

The songs shared on Power testify to her conviction. Recorded with an all-star line-up of topnotch musicians from Detroit, Dallas, and New Orleans, like the powerhouse drummer Chris Coleman (Beck, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder), she and Buthel wrote and produced the album, which was then mixed and mastered by multi-talented Grammy Award and Dove Award-winning producer Jeremy Bishop Hicks.

“Power” symbolizes unity. The album cover art of two holding hands, black and white, is what this world needs. It’s the power, and it’s the force that’s going to move this world forward. Without that power, there wouldn’t have been so much remarkable music today, ideas, and reforms. And indeed, not this record. This story is about friendship and embracing yourself with everything life throws at you.

Described as "one helluva guitar player" by Bruce Springsteen, Popovic has appeared on covers of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazines. She’s topped the Billboard Charts numerous times and receives regular airplay on radio stations worldwide. A couple of her albums were named "Pick-Of-The-Week" by USA Today and given prominent airplay on NPR.

They were spawned from a decidedly tricky set of circumstances that tested Ana's devotion to making music and her perseverance.

In the fall of 2020, while the world was dealing with Covid, Popovic found herself in a dire and devastating situation. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having lost her mom three years before to the same illness, everything including whether or not to continue making music was in question. With encouragement from her bass player/musical director Buthel, between 14 chemotherapy treatments and flights back and forth between L.A. and Amsterdam, where she received her treatments,
