Anke Richards captures the ache of growing up in new release, “Grow Feet”

With her new single, "Grow Feet," rising alt-pop star Anke Richards explores a deeper, more introspective dimension of her music. The charged song feels like an unshakable nighttime thought.

"Grow Feet," produced at Caelum Music Production by the Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Dante Lattanzi, combines minimalism with emotional heaviness. The production flows, and the intertwining harmonies appear and fade like memories, but the subtle rhythmic foundation maintains a sense of being in the moment. Richards discusses memory loss, her identity still easing, and the pressure of seeming prepared for a life that keeps speeding up.

The lyrics feel like a monologue to oneself, rawness leavened with fantastic details, and deeply relatable.This single sets itself apart from other contemporary indie or alternative pop by lacking a dramatic emotional charge. The deep sub-bass adds emotional heft to the song, and her voice has a frail yet strong quality. The final product is a song that pulls anxiety into the realm of the musical and, strangely, into something comforting

"Grow Feet" seems like a soundtrack for an age when the past feels distant and the future uncertain. It's for fans of brooding alt-pop, expansive production, and reflective songwriting. This release cements Richards' status as one of the next wave of alternative pop musicians making music that navigates identity, change, and complicated emotions. "Grow Feet" is a sound diary entry for anyone still figuring it out.
