Annahstasia’s proximity to love — for and from others, in society at large, and deeply within herself — guides the spirit of her soulful, poetic folk songcraft. It is the elemental constant, alongside her distinctly resonant voice, shading the singer-songwriter’s music since her earliest self-taught recordings, back when a 17-year-old Annahstasia Enuke was discovered and propelled into the pressures of an industry that nearly stifled her greatest strengths.
Since humans learnt to set their longing to tape, there’ve been countless attempts to sum up the all-encompassing sensation of love in acoustic ballads. Few new artists do so as eloquently as Annahstasia. Her bewitching vocals bend and build to earth-shattering crescendos as effortlessly as they collapse to mere whispers, transforming the simplest confessions of admiration into deeply romantic pleas. With Annahstasia’s debut album on the way, it feels like there’s a gold mine waiting to be uncovered.
A once-in-a-generation vocalist writing haunting love songs based in Los Angeles, USA with comparisions to Tracy Chapman, Brittany Howard.
