Annahstasia

Annahstasia has cultivated her soulful, poetic folk songcraft between blazes of intimacy and independence across different lives, locations, and iterations, loves lost and gained, expectations evaded and recreated. Love 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. Artistic resilience, gratitude, and dedication to process have yielded Tether, her full-length debut on drink sum wtr, a collection of beaming torch songs, orchestral hymns, and astral anthems that feel lived-in. Annahstasia assembled the pieces of Tether slowly and with deep intention; she's carried these songs with her on the road, sang them for friends and strangers, and evolved them over time alongside her personal revelations. Across the lush arrangements, recorded with a range of accomplished musicians including featured guests aja monet and Obongjayar, Annahstasia's voice rings true, open-hearted, and free.
