While I have come across numerous series and films addressing the impact of social media on people’s lives, both locally in Egypt and in global productions, I still feel that musicians have not delved deeply into subjects such as social media, influencer culture, and artificial intelligence. The Tucson-based, Annie Anna shares a story about a friend transforming her online persona to become an influencer, replacing personal photos with product endorsements, and losing her true identity in the process.
“While Fame was written about my own frustrations and grievances regarding social media, I think we are all reaching a point where we are sick of the online facade, and we crave for a sense of authenticity to return to social media. As people slowly begin turning away from influencers, Fame seems very timely, and I hope it can help contribute to a larger conversation about who we as consumers give platforms to.” – Annie Anna
