anaiis — “ultraviolet, counts”

anaiis’ music is the door to her spirit. Unravelling themes of duality and transcendence across her discography—most recently on her stunning debut released September 10, this is no longer a dream—the French-Sengalese artist channels her intercontinental upbringing to add evocative layers of vulnerability and a diasporic vantage point to the alternative R&B canon.

this is no longer a dream standout “ultraviolet, counts” invites listeners to bear witness to the undoing of anaiis’ ego. “Martyrdom is for cowards,” she warbles across Joshua Grant and Luigie Nuñez’s arresting percussion. In her poised tone, we are assured there is no death in the singer’s world, only rebirth.
