Rising Pop Star Anna Goldsmith Releases “Go” Single
Anna Goldsmith, the rising pop star from Innisfil, Ontario, has collaborated with Dutch composer and producer Jan Jansen to release their third original single, “Go” – available now.
The twosome met through Instagram and have teamed up to release originals such as “Follower”, and “Miracle” and covers that include, “One Way or Another” by Blondie and “Father Christmas” by the Kinks. The dynamic duo has several more originals in the works and plans to release an entire album together.
The newly released “Go” was composed and recorded by Jansen, while Anna wrote the lyrics and then recorded the vocals. The new energetic and powerful anthem reflects Anna’s outgoing and confident personality and her desire to empower her fans to truly love themselves as who they are.
“Go is about seeing through the fake people and being yourself; being strong and not giving in to the pressures all around us. There are so many negative influences all around us, especially on social media,” says Goldsmith. “We are living in a digital world and sometimes it’s hard to tell what is fake and what is real.”
Jan Jansen is a talented composer and producer from the Netherlands with a growing international following. Together, the duo has created a unique sound that showcases Anna’s powerful vocals and Jan’s signature musical style.
Goldsmith, the multi-talented musician, and stage performer, continues to highlight her message and purpose behind the newly released song, “Go,” saying,
“I want my fans to see through all the fake and unreal, and be happy with themselves as they are. I don’t want them to feel badly about themselves because they don’t live up to the fake lives portrayed online.”

Great to hear from you again! What have you been up to since your last single?
Since I released “Miracle,” I have been taking drum and piano lessons, I have been continuing my vocal and performance training, I have been very busy with school, and I have been writing more songs. I have been having a lot of fun meeting new people and growing as a musician.
Tell us about the process of writing “Go.”
I worked with producer Jan Jansen from The Netherlands, who composed the track for “Go.” They sent me the music, and then I started writing the lyrics. I brainstormed some ideas and the song grew from there. I shared the lyrics with Jan, and then I recorded the vocals with Daryl at Mix11 Studios in Barrie, Ontario. Once I had the vocals down, Jan created the mix.
Where’s your favourite place to go in Innisfil or Toronto?
My favourite place to go is the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto so that I can watch concerts. My favourite concert I’ve seen there recently was The Killers.
Since the new song is called “Go,” where’s your favourite place to go and eat?
Right now, my favourite place to go to eat is Evviva. They have a full vegan menu and a full regular menu, and because I’m allergic to dairy, this gives me many options. And it’s beautiful inside!
Where’s your favourite place to go in the summer?
My favourite place to go in summer is Canada’s Wonderland because I love roller coasters!
