ANASTÁZIE drops new single “w.h.o.y.o.u”

London-based singer-songwriter and co-producer ANASTÁZIE is operates in her own space in the modern R&B world with a sound that pairs intricate production, emotional impact and cultural fusion. Born to Czech and Armenian heritage and informed by the cosmopolitan energy of London, she draws on a truly global outlook. Since moving to the UK at just seventeen, ANASTÁZIE has developed into a rising artist whose work channels both the sophistication of her jazz training and the freedom of modern R&B.

Her music is fluid but deftly balanced, offering a reflection of her identity, her ambition and her intent to create without restrictions. In 2022, she captured her sound in the studio and made her entrance with “Beautiful Time,” a debut single that introduced her as an exciting new artist. Wrapped in a moody, atmospheric soundscape, the track highlighted her jazz-inflected vocal control and emotional songwriting and later that year, she followed with “Girl Like Me,” a song that expanded her sonic output and won over fans across the UK and beyond.

By 2023, ANASTÁZIE’s creative curiosity led her to new collaborations, most notably with producer Skondtrack on “Regret,” a track which marked a subtle shift in her sound, introducing experimental textures and layered production while maintaining the emotional context that defines her songwriting. It was the bridge between her early explorations and the fully realised artistic vision that arrived with FLEETING VISIT, her debut EP created in partnership with The Musa.

Now, following a string of well-received singles released throughout 2025, ANASTÁZIE brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “w.h.o.y.o.u.” Based in old-school R&B stylings and executed with modern flair, the track blends brooding melodic hooks with an empowering message, presenting a song about strength, ambition and ownership, a declaration from a young woman claiming her space in a world that often seeks to define her.

Jumping straight into a bouncy groove of clapping beats and funky instrumental flickers, the track rolls with subtly dark energy as ANASTÁZIE’s dramatic vocals enter to spin expressive melodic lines above. Propelled by the ever-present shuffle of the infectious rhythmic energy and pulse of grooving instrumentation, overlapping vocal layers snake above to form an enthralling slice of uptempo R&B cut with instantly catchy pop vibes.

Taking her influences from early 2000s R&B and spinning them into a cutting edge jam that’s exhilarating and memorable throughout, “w.h.o.y.o.u.” sees ANASTÁZIE lay down another spectacular showcase of her superb songwriting flair and performance panache. As she continues to go from strength to strength with each move, we can’t wait to see what ANASTÁZIE has in store next on her thrilling musical adventure.
