Before Zero

Description

It was these words from Nina Simone Ill tell you what freedom is to me, no fear that have both inspired and resonated with the life story and music of anaïs, a fascinating new artist who today announces her debut EP . Before Zero began life when anaïs was studying at NYU at their highly prestigious Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music where her friends and contemporaries were Arca and Gallant. With a move to London in the Spring of 2015 she began to make connections and further her music. Alongside the exquisite Nina on the EP sit two more original tracks Set In Stone and Window as well as a wonderfully moving cover of Charles Aznavours La Mamma. All written and produced by anaïs herself, its a fiercely intelligent observation of the world from the perspective of a young black woman whos traveled extensively and has no real place to call home.
