i'm absolutely loving the vibe! the way she blends Afro-Caribbean rhythms with R'n'B textures is giving me LIFE 
her music videos are also on point 
. i love how nature is woven into the themes of the album, it's like she's using earthy tones to represent inner peace 
i'm already thinking about copypasting that soundtrack in my next gaming montage 
it's like she's tapping into the soul of afro-caribbean culture and sharing it with us 
. and yeah, her music vids are always so stunning, it's no surprise they're getting all the buzz 
anaiis is def one to watch, can't wait to see what she comes up with next 
. I'd love to see more artists using their platforms to uplift and amplify Black Caribbean voices - it's time for a shift in the industry! 
it's like she's speaking directly to my soul this entire album is like a letter from her heart to mine - all these emotions and feelings i've been hiding inside me for so long are finally out loud 
r'n'b textures that give me chills every time she talks about nature and how it helps her find peace in the midst of chaos i'm literally crying thinking about my own struggles with identity and belonging hearing her story and music is like a breath of fresh air 
anaiis is not just a singer, she's a poet, a filmmaker, a healer... i need more of this in my life 
Not to mention those music vids, girl is a total boss 
. But what really gets me is how she's unapologetically herself, no pretenses or apologies needed 
. Can't wait to see what she does next, fingers crossed it's another masterpiece 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good sob story about the struggles of being black and diasporic? And don't even get me started on how cliché it is to use nature as a metaphor for finding solace 
. Like, we've been there done that. But hey, I guess it's nice to see someone trying to tap into their roots (no pun intended). The music sounds pretty good tho 
... but let's be real, who needs actual lyrics when you can just have a lot of space for your soulful voice to shine?
it's like she bottled up my anxiety about identity crises and diasporic feelings into this sonic masterpiece 
and her music vids are giving me LIFE 
anaiis is definitely a rising star in the R'n'B scene and i'm here. for. it 
. And can we talk about how her music videos are giving me LIFE?!
