We discover Ananya thanks to her latest effort, a dreamy, hazy gem steeped in evocative lyricism and lovable imagery. ‘Falling’ is exactly that, a mellow and expressive slice of bedroom-pop charisma, here delivered on a silver platter by the London-based songstress. Drenched in Ananya’s luscious and elegant vocal tone, the single reveals a glittering, cathartic listening experience, a gentle flair that provides a needed counterpoint to the current gloominess and societal chaos.
In that sense, Ananya offers us a slice of mindful escapism, without forgetting the wider context. Embarking on contrasting thoughts about a vulnerable relationship, the Zimbabwe-born creative is able to rationalise a situation that’s often under the domain of pure emotional energy, offering a lyrical landscape that will certainly resonate with a wider audience. In fact, ‘Falling’ was long-awaited by Ananya’s fanbase, following a live performance on Glamour South Africa.
Delving deeper into the song, she explains: “‘Falling’ came from a time where I was trying to hide how I really felt, caught in the chaos of falling for someone who wasn’t ready”. Ananya enlists the help of Patch Boshell, making the resulting record fairly irresistible. It’s melodically rich, texturally expansive and feverish, and with the right amount of uptempo grooves. What more could you wish for?
