Following the release of her Surface Tension EP out now via drink sum wtr, Annahstasia returns to share a new video for “Sunday.” The video depicts Annahstasia and her partner’s tension through movement until eventually Annahstasia walks away.
Annahstasia shares about the video, “I wanted a visual representation of what it feels like to rummage around in a wound. The animal reactivity, the total lack of words, the push and pull of a failed understanding. The visual is a dramatized iteration of a failed final conversation. Earnest desire to communicate. Lost in-between lines too far apart. House keys gone into the subway grate. When love is not the right kind, at the right moment it can feel wrong to walk away…to abandon the pattern, circling for an answer you can’t be the one to give. But such is the trapping of desire. And its severity under the pressure of loss.”
Surface Tension is a prelude to Annahstasia’s debut album coming later this year and unfolds in a 3-part narrative arc, detailing her own revelations about past relationships and documenting “a romantic war.” Recorded at Shangri-la studio in Malibu with producer Jason Lader and a number of accomplished musicians, the EP embraces a slower, more intentional sound than her previous project Revival, allowing her commanding vocals to propel the tracks forward as she explores her gift with newfound artistic latitude.
Born Annahstasia Enuke, the LA-based artist first learned about the importance of artistic resilience and creative intention at the age of 17 after being discovered and later propelled into the entertainment industry and the stifling pressures that accompany it. “I’ve come into the power of my voice as a medium,” she says. “As a tool of expression, I am able to shape the emotional space around me.” Across the project’s three-part structure, a calmness, warmth, and resolute beauty prevails amidst the fleeting light of two lovers undone.
Watch “Sunday” above and stay tuned for more from Annahstasia coming soon.
