London-based polymath anaiis (whose name appears in lowercase as a tribute to educator, author and activist bell hooks) makes the kind of music that speaks to an innate sense of wonder. On her forthcoming album Devotion & The Black Divine, the songs swell with emotional clarity as she lovingly pushes herself beyond the edges of her comfort zone.
Recorded live-to-tape at London’s 5db Studios, the record feels like a conversation with the natural world, our inner selves, and the power of recognising one’s own divinity. anaiis draws from the collective consciousness, and this time, that depth rests on a growing sense of homecoming. Not to a place, but to the self.
