Ania Hoo has dropped off a new release, called "Dreams/ Truth Is…". Jamaican-American artist Ania Hoo navigates a colorful, eclectic, and vibrant universe through her music. Inspired by artists such as Marvin Gaye and Teena Marie, she strives for her music to emulate the purest of emotions. Taking us away from the modern world and its endless need for consumption, we see Hoo opening us up to her vision that is focused on creating with integrity and intention. A world where music gives space to the collective to not only want to feel good, but to demand to be loved properly. Her latest offering presents a vibrant 2-song drop that blends influences eclectically from alternative R&B, dance, soul and more.
The first song, "Dreams", creates a hazy, rich soundscape through its smoky synth layers and infectious percussion, while Ania provides a poignant vocal performance with her smooth, elegant melodies. Containing old-school soul influences but keeping its sound refreshingly forward-thinking, "Dreams" presents a versatile cut from Ania. The second track, "Truth Is…" includes a warm, dance-influenced rhythm section that moors the track while watery keys float above, creating an intriguing contrast. Vocally, Ania shines with her silky verses and dynamic, ear-worm chorus, drawing the listener further into the song's smoky feel.
Ania's latest is a diverse 2-song release that captivates with its shimmering, colorful blend of R&B, dance, and soul, while she demonstrates sharp, focused songwriting throughout.
