“Blues Metal Queen” ANDRY Launches Her Solo Career with Debut Album “Skies”

 

“Skies is a pedal-to-the-metal banger with eyes on massive, fist-pumping sing-alongs – and who are we to deny her?” – Louder Sound/ Metal Hammer UK

Los Angeles, CA (Wednesday, March 6th) – Former runner-up on The Voice of Greece and front-woman on The Harps, ANDRY decided to embark on her solo career by releasing a teaser to her full-length debut album “Skies.” The title track, “Skies” starts the album off with a bang, and is followed by tracks such as “Mistress of The Night”, and “Black Hole”, encompassing fast-paced, hard rock, and metal style, with textures of blues, heightened by her powerful booming vocals. “Skies” truly encapsulates ANDRY’s diverse style and artistic range, and tells a story of her musical career. 

“Those vocals are just incredibly strong… A special one, for sure.”

-Rock Queen Reviews

“Fast paced dominant vocal sound that will never grow old in your ears.”

-Electric Music Magazine

Andry pays homage to the heavy metal legends while boldly carving out her own unique path.” –Femal Fronted Power

“Skies is about empowerment and rising through the ashes of a nuclear war having many allegories of female abuse and my personal life. The artwork of the album is inspired by the space and how it might look in the future.

Since you can’t live in the past it is consoling to dream about the future and about the changes it will bring. I would describe it as Blues and Metal but mostly every possible mix of genre meaning versatile and innovative regarding the new recipes of songwriting.” –Andry Lagiou, frontwoman and lead singer of ANDRY

About ANDRY

Emerging on the scene in 2013, ANDRY founded her band The Harps, and took Greece by storm by winning a blind audition on The Voice with her cover of Deep Purple’s “Burn”. Continuing her success, ANDRY released her album “Love Strikes Doves” with the Harps and was featured as guest vocalist on several albums, including The Vivaldi Project and progressive metal act Pyramid, where she duetted with Tim Ripper Owens on the smash song Stigma. Since then, ANDRY has taken her solo career by the horns, releasing the title track off her highly anticipated debut album “Skies” in 2023. 

Her music features a uniquely powerful feminine prowess, that takes from inspirations ranging from Ronnie James to Dio and Christina Aguilera. She centers her sound around the mantra: “One chooses her own destiny. Are you a slave to your emotions or your goals? Life is like a jungle, you eat or you’ll be eaten.”

Highly regarded in the international metal scene, ANDRY put a kick-ass live band together to perform across Europe and beyond. Starting in January with shows in the Benelux and Germany, ANDRY has performed to crowds across Europe anticipating the imminent release of her new album.
