Dear listeners and readers of Soundville, what happens when your favorite artist steps outside their familiar sound and offers something truly mind-blowing? For me, it was a complete detachment from reality when I heard ANASTÁZIE’s new single “w.h.o.y.o.u”. The groovy pop vibe, touches of R&B, lush acoustic pads, bouncing electronic layers, and multi-layered vocals feel like they’re coming straight from another dimension.

While staying within the R&B-pop realm, “w.h.o.y.o.u” carries a distinct touch of art-house sound, especially in ANASTÁZIE’s vocals. Her music has always balanced on the edge of dissolving into a completely new genre that ANASTÁZIE seems to be shaping with her own sonic vision. “w.h.o.y.o.u” pushes beyond the comfort zone of familiar pop. A careful listener will catch subtle Eastern motifs in the arrangement, while ANASTÁZIE’s vocals, breaking into harmonies and echoing with layers of backing vocals, spin endlessly, dizzying and breathless. This thick, full sound creates an atmosphere of passion, striking sparks – give it a second and everything around will ignite in hot flames. “w.h.o.y.o.u” is an amazing single that definitely deserves to be on every listener’s playlist. Here you’ll find true love for music, for art, and a fresh, cool sound. Amazing!

Heeey ANASTÁZIE! Thank you for releasing such diverse music. Every new track you release grabs me, and “w.h.o.y.o.u” is definitely my favorite one so far. There is something powerful and gentle in it, something of fire and water, and I undoubtedly love this song. Please keep making more of these wonderful tracks. I love it!
