Album Introduction:
Why didn't Achilles' mother just dip him again into the water holding the other heel? The story of Achilles goes that when he was a baby, his mother dipped him in the River Styx, which offered powers of invulnerability. However, as she held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. So why didn't she just dip him again? Perhaps she simply forgot? Or perhaps Homer (the author of the Achilles story) understood that Achilles needed a weakness in order for his readers to identify with Achilles.

Whichever the case, its undeniable that weakness is what defines us as human. And just when we think we're perfect, like Achilles, we're then undone by others' mistakes - Annette feels that in this world that celebrates strength, we're starting to lose our ability to deal with inevitable weaknesses. And that is what her debut EP is about: It is about recognising our weakness, because we must be true to ourselves. It is about being unashamed of our weakness, so that we can encourage others with our journey. And most importantly, it is about embracing our weakness, so that we can find strength to overcome.
