After years spent building a career, choosing your own direction can become the most personal decision of all. Having the experience to answer that honestly can give a new release real purpose. Ana Golja brings classical vocal training and a love of Amy Winehouse, Etta James and Nina Simone to her music. Known for Degrassi, the performer has spent years developing a musical identity, from her 2018 debut Epilogue to rebuilding her creative team in London.
“Better” belongs to that fresh chapter, with Golja pursuing the soulful, sultry sound that first drew her towards singing. Her involvement throughout the writing and production gives this material particular personal significance. The appeal lies in that commitment: an experienced performer taking responsibility for the music bearing her name, with years of experience informing her artistic decisions.
