Witness the Rising of the Next Pop Idol, ANASTASIA
ANASTASIA, a rising star in the Latin pop scene, is making a significant impact on the music industry with just a few songs released to the world. A career highlight for the LA-born singer/songwriter came in 2022 when her single 'Familia' was chosen as the anthem for FOX's Latin Heritage Week. This talented artist has been hard at work in the studio, diligently crafting her latest EP, which is already generating buzz as an exciting project.
One of the standout tracks on ANASTASIA's EP is "Mariposa," which serves as the lead single. This powerful title track showcases ANASTASIA's unabashedly strong vocals and captivating lyrics. To enhance the listening experience, a music video has been created to accompany the song, adding a visually stunning element to the already exceptional track. Gabrielle Gorman directed the video featuring a montage of clips featuring ANASTASIA wandering through nature. With close-ups of various types of ‘mariposas’ (butterflies), it is a fantastic experience. "Red Flags" follows the lead single, it has a hard job of topping an already amazing song.
One particular thing about the EP is that ANASTASIA blends English and Spanish lyrics, creating this captivating Spanglish atmosphere. Her musical prowess and creativity are quite amazing if I'm being completely honest. "Heat of the Moment" has a chill and relaxing intro but it quickly heats up. Blending pop with a bit of reggaeton this one will have you dancing in no time. Next comes my favorite track with a flawless title, "Sirena.” Her voice is enchanting and impossible to resist. The production takes you on a journey, with the beat switch halfway through the track. It also has a very catchy hook that's easy to sing along to. All in all, "Sirena" is a great track, and in my opinion, it would be a great second choice for a radio hit besides "Mariposa." Finally, something I personally have a very short stock of is "Paciencia." The rhythm is smooth and progressive, with a strong melody that makes it easy to move to the music. Like the previous tunes, ANASTASIA's vocal performance is out of this world, and the song ends on a beautiful note that leaves you wanting even more songs. I had the opportunity to ask ANASTASIA what this EP means to her and what message she wants to send to her audience: “These songs tell stories from my personal experiences to remind us not to fear treading deeply or waiting for the perfect moment to chase our dreams. Much is not in our control, but Mariposa reminds us that the rest of our stories are unwritten and that it’s never too late to become who you were always meant to be.” While working on these latest songs, ANASTASIA said she felt "more alive" than ever before. She’s bursting with life in her video, as well as in all the other songs. There’s a richness to her music that shines through.
With her unique blend of genres and undeniable talent, ANASTASIA is poised to make a lasting impact on the music industry. Her EP promises to be a remarkable testament to her artistry. As she continues to develop her sound and share her incredible talent with the world, it is clear that she is an artist to watch. She is set to become a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. The EP is destined to dominate Spotify playlists, radio waves, and clubrooms in the coming months. Stay tuned for more exciting music from this rising star.
