Australian/Mauritian singer-songwriter Anieszka is a truly distinctive artist, refusing to adhere to standards or current trends. Her sonic journey, hopping across the genres of R&B and electro-soul, embodies a captivating blend of experimentation, authenticity and emotion. Describing her music as a form of healing for both herself and her listeners, Anieszka weaves a tapestry of thought-provoking writing and dulcet vocals that’s struck a chord with fans around the world.
First making her entrance in 2016 with the debut single “Falling into You,” she’s since shared multiple well-received singles and 2 EPs over the years. Now she brings us her latest release with the brand new single titled “Anomaly,” this time linking up with the talented Australian artist and producer Tentendo to bring the track to life.
The new track opens with the soft pulses of synths as her airy vocalisations cast a dreamy spell. The punch and snap of the beat injects a gentle groove as her alluring voice flutters above, spinning dynamic melodies carrying picture painting lyrics that see her search for personal connection. As Anieszka explores themes of self-worth, confrontational scenarios and the search for a unique connection, “Anomaly” takes the listener on a mesmeric journey.
The smooth synth textures create a hazy and serene state, drawing the audience into an immersive experience, while the heavily swung Kaytranada-esque bounce sets a sturdy groove. Serving up a catchy, danceable alternative R&B vibe, “Anomaly” subtly develops with intricate synth touches, slick bass lines and lively drums, capped by a sensational display of Anieszka’s vocal panache.
Anieszka’s ability to fuse R&B, neo-soul, and her Mauritian roots is on full display, showcasing a sonic offering that’s as rich and diverse as her cultural influences. Having previously been championed by renowned platforms such as Bandcamp Daily and BBC Radio, Anieszka continues to go from strength to strength with her stellar new single.
Commenting on the context behind the song, Anieszka shares, “I’ve never written a song like Anomaly before, where the story evolves as the song progresses. I think it was a really interesting way of encapsulating what a lot of us feel when it comes to a connection. Ultimately, we all want to love and be loved, but we live in a generation where everyone is scared to do exactly that. At the core of it all, when we meet someone and we feel there’s a real connection, we ask ourselves will this person be the one that’s different from all the rest? Will they stay in their fear or surrender to the connection? Ultimately, will they be the Anomaly? We will all meet our Anomaly at some point in our life, this song is a reminder to trust in that, and to trust in love.”
On collaborating with Tentendo, she offers, “Tentendo’s addictive production style consists of carefully layered percussion and thick synths saturated in sweet, sticky vocals with thumping bass lines to colour the melodic madness. Lush, RnB neo-soul at its very best.”
