Set for release on August 8th, The Glance is the highly anticipated sonic offering from Nigerian genre-blending artist Ánesi. Known for her bold fusion of African acapella, gospel, alté, Afrobeats, R&B, and experimental soul, Ánesi presents The Glance as a meditative, forward-facing project — one that sees music as not only expression but medicine.
Each track is crafted to evoke stillness, spiritual depth, and personal revelation. This is a project for listeners who crave meaning in music — who seek both rhythm and restoration.
Ánesi: Where Tradition Meets Technology
Born Comfort Ogbonnaya, Ánesi began her journey in music at the age of five. By 12, she had released her debut gospel album The Genesis, selling over 1,000 copies independently and earning her first million. She later trained at ABBA Music School, where she mastered vocal performance and music theory, before founding AX: Acapella Xpression, an ensemble rooted in harmonic African traditions.
Her career took a digital turn in 2023, when she launched Trapiano (her first NFT), performed in the metaverse, and began crafting AI-assisted music. As a software engineer and data analyst, Ánesi brings a rare technical perspective into the artistry of sound — blurring the lines between the spiritual and the synthetic.
A Standout Track: Stargaze
The EP’s highlight, “Stargaze,” is a dreamy, immersive track that blends poetic introspection with celestial production. It’s a moment of escape — and a call to look higher, dream deeper, and trust the unseen.
