Anjalts Releases “Are U Ok”
New York – Just after releasing her single "Walking to the Sun" in September and her expansive 15-song album project, "Air to Fire," in February 2023, the prolific composer and producer has rapidly unveiled a total of nineteen singles, including her most recent release, "Are U OK." This latest track marks the fifth installment from her highly anticipated second album, 'Bluency,' a collection of alternative soundscape songs that exhibit a bold and surreal approach to songwriting, as showcased in "Are U OK." The song, with its upbeat Pop-rock style, features scorching guitar riffs and improvisations that captivate the listener's senses, reminiscent of the nostalgia associated with bands like Maroon 5, the moodiness of Chemical Romance, and the pioneering spirit of The Velvet Underground.
Anjalts is making an early mark as an emerging artist unafraid to challenge the conventional norms of contemporary song arrangements while still managing to resonate deeply with her audience. She plays multiple instruments, arranges, and writes songs, delivering a wholly immersive musical experience. The ethereal tones, combined with distant electric guitars, harken back to the raw and unpredictable artistry that once defined the mystique of rock music. Anjalts' work is mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, UK, and she has ambitious plans to release two albums by the end of the year, alongside additional music videos and an upcoming tour on the horizon.
The opening guitar sequence in "Are U Ok" mirrors the artist's intense passion for music and reflects her continuous inner struggle to find a more optimistic perspective in a world often marred by heartbreak. This multi-instrumentalist has expressed her desire for listeners to form their own interpretations of the song, emphasizing, "Sometimes, no matter how dire circumstances may become, we must not surrender or compromise the best part of ourselves needed to overcome these challenging times." The divergent musician draws from profound personal experiences and embraces the natural nuances in music, believing that it's the slight imperfections that create an artist's unique sound and individuality.
