Since joining the SoNo Recording Group, Aneesa Strings has released two singles that firmly cemented her place in contemporary Jazz and R&B. Those singles, “We Are The Music” and “Gramercy Place“, are part of the new 6 song EP, The Calm!
“The Calm was inspired by the chaotic news cycle of 2024 and how crazy my life was at the time. I wanted something that would calm myself and others down to a healthy state of self-regulation,” shares Aneesa. “We are constantly bombarded and inundated with bad news and other people’s thoughts and I just felt that we all deserve a break and that is why I made this EP. The music came from a deeply empathetic place – firstly with myself and then others.”
The EP includes collaborations with some of today’s most highly sought-after musicians and producers including vocal producer, arranger and engineer David Michael Ott, producer SndTrak, Music Director Curtis Williams, drummer James Gadson, keyboardist Ron “T’Nava” Avant, and longtime musical collaborators Greg Paul and Brandon Cordova.
