Drawing us in with an ethereal soundscape featuring cosmic vocal textures, expanding into a dimensional drum’n’bass energy, HANGAWI (FKA SYLVIA M) opens Anyway with a delicate delivery and introspective prose.
We immediately connect with the emotional depth and poetic prowess. The production is sublime and high energy at the same time. Fans of PinkPantheress and FKA Twigs will absolutely be able to connect with what HANGAWI (FKA SYLVIA M) has created with Anyway.
We learn that as a dedicated artist, HANGAWI is currently undergoing rigorous vocal directing and training. The aim is to continuously expand her musical boundaries and refine her expression. This debut release is intentionally meant to capture a pivotal moment in her passionate journey of growth, and serves as a reflection of her deep emotional vulnerability.
There is no doubt that Anyway holds a cinematic allure, and we could imagine it in a movie like Your Fault: London, which often features songs like this. Speaking on the message of Anyway, HANGAWI confesses, “Lyrically, the song navigates the complex, melancholic, yet chic emotions of love and detachment.”
We connect with the relatable narrative and the journey that HANGAWI is taking us on both sonically and emotionally. The tarot card artwork mirrors the emotional core of Anyway by visually balancing love and detachment. The reversed Lovers card suggests a relationship that has lost its alignment – two people connected, yet inverted, symbolizing love that can no longer exist in its ideal form. Besides it, the Strength card represents quiet resilience, self-control, and the grace required to move forward despite emotional pain.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Anyway to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from HANGAWI.
