New jazz and R&B inspired music is a fresh song you need to hear.

Of the new music releases today, who would have thought that the best came from a relatively unknown artist? But in today’s industry, that is the norm. Undiscovered talent has always been the bastion for new ideas; today’s fresh find is nothing short of that.

Aanya Martin is a UK-based singer-songwriter whose work follows the stylistic markers of jazz, melded with R&B influences. Avoiding the typical new music Friday releases, her latest single, Rhythm For The Blues, embarks on a mid-week journey to highlight the transformative power of music.

What it Sounds Like

Sonically, the song is rooted in an esoteric ambience, bound to the soothing vocalisations of Martin’s cyclical evocation of a meditative track. The lyrics, written by the artist herself, encapsulate her musings: “Flowers bloom, from cracks of sombre,” and underscore the importance of such records.

As the music progresses, so does Aanya’s message of unclenching, asking us to remove ourselves from the stresses of everyday life. Her atmospheric ideas connect with those who pine for harmonies to move them, while gently breathing against a cascade of dream-like melodies. Through notes of smoke in sound form, they weave around physical and metaphorical objects softening ears and minds.

Verdict

Through the emotive qualities of a vulnerable yet empowering delivery, Aanya Martin’s rarefied amalgamation of poetry and musicality deepens with song. In a catchy chill-vibe, she summons a volume of artistry that seems to evade many a musician.
