ANIKA NEVER COMING BACK

Having arrived less than a week ago, brooding, Berlin-based singer-songwriter Anika's new album Change is her first in roughly a decade. With early tastes 'Finger Pies', 'Change' and 'Rights' all pleasing our ears, Anika's released a further single in 'Never Coming Back'. Contemplating the fragility of our world, Anika explains: “Never Coming Back’ is a song about those things that are no longer there, that we didn’t see slip away; only upon their complete extinction, did we register the loss and by then, it was too late. Be it our freedoms, our liberties, our protections, our birds, our breaths, our loved ones. It’s a love song about loss.” Sonically pursuing a haunting brand of electronica 'Never Coming Back' is an uncanny call to arms, lead by Anika's affecting vocals.
