Marmar Oso and Annie Malee’s “Searching For You (Music Inspired by the Motion Picture Abandonment)” – Song review
This is brilliant songwriting by Malee – who pulls triple duty as co-writer, producer, and singer – in her music debut.

He blends soulful vocals a la John Legend with a tender brokenness. He displays a natural penchant for storytelling – this voice is a man in pain, exhausted by the whipsaws of love – and he executes it incredibly effectively here. As for Malee, her vocal theatrics call to mind the OGs of this genre. Mariah is…

Upcoming survival thriller Abandonment, starring Oscar winner and legend Richard Dreyfuss and newcomer Annie Malee, in theaters this fall, is the…
