London-based artist ANASTÁZIE is fast becoming one of the most exciting voices in modern R&B, blending a fiercely original sound that’s both personal and widely appealing. A singer, songwriter and co-producer, her music reflects a sophisticated fusion of influences, shaped by her Czech and Armenian heritage and developed by years of crafting a unique sonic vision.
ANASTÁZIE’s musical journey first kick started when she moved to London at 17, determined to make a name for herself in the city’s music scene. Drawing on a jazz education that informs her smooth, soulful vocal style, she’s earned a reputation as a rising star with an ability to cross genres and borders. Her sound is constantly shifting, in part due to her collaborations with international producers, giving her releases a thrilling energy that feels entirely her own.
She made her debut in 2022 with the single “Beautiful Time,” an introduction that showcased her ability to create immersive, emotive soundscapes. Following that, “Girl Like Me” further confirmed her reputation for blending heartfelt songwriting with cutting edge R&B flair. A collaborative spirit also defines her work, seen on the track “Regret” with Skondtrack, attesting to her versatility and openness to new musical directions while last year also saw the release of her debut EP, FLEETING VISIT, produced alongside The Musa.
Now, ANASTÁZIE returns with her latest offering titled “heart/mind?,” a slick new single that fuses smooth R&B tones with the infectious rhythms of afrobeats, built around a catchy hook and soulful melodies. It’s a song about trust, specifically, the delicate tension between listening to your heart and your mind when faced with important decisions. With upbeat instrumentals powered by an afrobeats drum pattern and thoughtful, relatable lyrics, “heart/mind?” strikes a perfect balance between reflection and danceability.
There’s a shimmering charm to how ANASTÁZIE combines her thoughtful lyricism with uplifting production, creating music that’s memorable and meaningful in equal measure. Opened by the delicate flutter of piano notes and airy brass tones, ANASTÁZIE’s elegant vocalisations drift across the arrangement as the shuffling hop of the beat builds up around her dazzling voice.
Flowing with an intoxicating groove and brimming with catchy melodic leads, “heart/mind?” sees ANASTÁZIE serve up a stunning experimental R&B jam that’s sure to win over new and existing fans alike. As she continues to go from strength to strength with each move, we can’t wait to see what this exciting artist has in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
