Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Adanna Duru has released her second major project since making the Top 11 on American Idol three years ago.

We were reminded of her talent when she made the Top 11 on American Idol at age 18.

Now she’s released her second album since, the intriguingly titled “Manic Pixie Dreamgirl.”

Adanna, three years removed from that appearance on Idol, explained in an interview with schonmagazine.com.

“The Manic Pixie Dreamgirl is a character archetype,” she told the site. “She’s the quirky dream girl you see in a movie whose story is never really developed. We only know her to exist to move the story forward for the male protagonist. She’s perfect but she’s only an item.

“This EP is about me embracing this archetype that I always end up playing. The trophy. Sounds somewhat flattering but it’s pretty dehumanizing.

“In the title track of the EP, I embrace feeling this way about my music career as well. I’ve been told by so many important people in the industry that I’m beautiful, talented and unique. But I’m still independent.”

That title track is one of five new songs fans were treated to when the album dropped last week.

Adanna had previously released “One Way Street,” which she describes as being about “fake friends,” and the superb “Doll,” which is about being objectified in romantic relationships with men.

She also released a video for “Dolls,” which you can check out below.

Adanna’s debut album was “Stardive,” released last summer.
