Need a song that delivers soul-filled goodness, like a warm sonic hug?
Put on “Green Juice” by London-based alt-R&B polymath anaiis—it’s good for you, pinky promise.
The French-Senegalese artist (whose name appears in lowercase as a tribute to educator, author, and activist bell hooks) creates music that taps into an innate sense of wonder.
“Green Juice” is no different, offering lyrics that are both poignant and reflective: “no matter how much time’s passed, this is a kind of love that lasts.”
While “Green Juice” sits as the 12th track on anaiis’s Devotion & The Black Divine, it holds its own as a self-contained mini universe.
The production perfectly complements anaiis’s light, breathy, yet controlled vocals, featuring twinkling, psychedelic bells in the background reminiscent of Little Dragon, alongside a raw drum kit that builds a groove so irresistibly hip-swaying, it’s impossible not to make a stank face while listening.
It’s clear that anaiis creates entire worlds with her music—anytime you put on one of her songs, you’re transported into a comforting, easy-listening space where her lyrics resonate deeply and feel personal.
“Green Juice” is a sonic wonderland that never feels intrusive but scratches that perfect auditory itch, leaving you with a soulful, feel-good experience that lingers long after the track ends.
