The stars align for Ananya with debut EP “i woke up one night”

Now available to stream globally here: https://platoon.lnk.to/i-woke-up-one-night

Recorded between Cape Town and London, the stars align for Ananya with her debut offering which takes listeners on an enthralling journey into the deep pathways and mysteries of her inner thoughts, drawing inspiration from her dreams, nightmares, and mental health journey.
 
 
Ananya’s artistry flawlessly blends introspection and musicality to create an evocative project that showcases her most mature and contemplative self. i woke up one night isn’t just an EP; it’s an invitation to Ananya’s world, with the Pop sensation beckoning us to join her as she navigates through themes of love, heartbreak, self-discovery and acceptance. And in doing so, we might just discover fragments of our own stories that are mirrored in her emotive verses, soulful symphonies, and heartfelt melodies.



“Making this EP has been a labour of love. It’s honest, vulnerable, empowering, emotional… all at the same time. It’s nightmares, and dreams, regrets, and truths. It’s stepping into the best you that there is, because we’re not what we’ve been through,” shares Ananya.
 
 She adds: “Words can’t describe how I feel to finally be sharing it. Your support means the world to me, thank you for listening.”
 

Opening with the hazy guitar driven power Pop offering ‘bad for you’, Ananya immediately sweeps us into the tempest of a startling revelation and an unexpected truth that she encountered in a nightmare. Like a phoenix rising, the track encapsulates Ananya’s empowered transformation, epitomising the strength one can glean from confronting painful truths head-on. This theme of self-discovery and assertiveness is carried further on ‘i’m too nice’, a candid exploration of those moments when we yearn to stand tall against bullies, yet grapple with the paradox of wanting to protect their feelings. Here, we see Ananya emphasising the idea of taking responsibility and the desire to express what you truly feel.

 



Dreams and reality intertwine on ‘gone (forever)’, a soaring Pop composition that was inspired by Ananya’s own vivid dream imagery. This infectious track distils the experience of seeking inner strength and boldly embracing self-worth, echoing the universal sentiment of discerning when it’s time to move on from a relationship in which you’ve been giving more than you’ve been receiving. Meanwhile, the evocative slow burner ‘moon’ sees Ananya unpacking the intricate and complex emotions of longing and helplessness, as she focuses on the emotional tumult of unreciprocated gestures, being unable to fulfil someone’s wishes, and the heart-wrenching reality of apologies that were sadly never offered.
 
 The EP takes a reflective pause with ‘october’, a melancholic meander through past regrets. Acting as a mirror, this song, Ananya’s personal favourite on the project, captures the tortuous act of revisiting bygone moments with newfound clarity. As we delve deeper, ‘macy gray’ stands out as a poignant ode to memory and inspiration. Through this heartfelt ballad, Ananya seamlessly intertwines personal heartbreak with universal experiences of nostalgia and bittersweet recollection. The journey culminates with ‘I feel so new’, inspired by a harrowing dream-vision of a future gone awry. This track, however, isn’t about despair; it’s a triumphant anthem to reinvention and the indomitable human spirit, with Ananya reminding us of the boundless capacity to reshape our destinies, irrespective of past trials.
