Anaiis shares deluxe version of her critically acclaimed album ‘this is no longer a dream’

ANAIIS shares the deluxe version of her critically acclaimed album ‘this is no longer a dream’ which includes remixes from Sam Henshawe, Jamilah Barry, DJ Lulo, Years and Years and Karen Nyame KG. The recent remixes are in addition to the collaborations on the original 2022 album (Chronixx, Topaz Jones, Jay Prince, Sjava +++)

The London based artist has spent a lifetime moving around the globe soaking up a multitude of cultures and influences that bring an innovative and genre-defying style to her artistic endeavours. Following the releases of her EP ‘Before Zero’ and her project ‘Darkness At Play’, anaiis further raised the bar with her self released debut album ‘this is no longer a dream,’ a cathartic and brave long player which was released in 2021. The album was well-received by notable critics and publications – she featured as the cover star on PUSS PUSS and FACT magazine – citing her as one of the most exciting and innovative voices in contemporary R&B. Alongside the critical acclaim, anaiis is an accomplished live performer who has been invited as a special guest at concerts by the likes of Erykah Badu, Ibeyi, Daniel Caesar, Nick Hakim and more, as well as recent headline performances in Dakar and Berlin which have all been met with rapturous praise.

Occupying the sweet spot between music, fashion and high art, anaiis has collaborated and contributed to notable works of art with the V&A, Camden Arts Centre, Palais De Tokyo, White Cube, Julien Creuzet, JulianKnxx and more. In fashion, she has featured in a Paul Smith campaign, collaborated with Valentino for her noteworthy ColorsxStudio performance, was dressed in Alexander McQueen for her Harpers Bazaar feature, as well as brand collaborations with Dr Martens, Levis, Paco Rabanne’s Millions x Vice x NTS, and more. She has also worked creatively with Ib Kamara, Nell Kalonji, Rafael Pavarotti, Campbell Addy amongst others on hers and other projects.

Now anaiis set the bar high, finishing 2023 on a high note with the deluxe version of her critically acclaimed album, ‘this is no longer a dream’. Why not check it out below…

Gotobeat lets you go to all their live gigs for a fixed monthly subscription

Gotobeat wants to reimagine the live music experience and has launched its
new subscription service to give fans free access to all their gigs.

A subscription service for live gigs is not only possible but necessary, and this is what Gotobeat has been working on for the past four months. The London-based music tech startup aims to disrupt the experience of going to independent live music gigs, making it easier, more affordable and more accessible for all music lovers.

Gotobeat opens the door to all the live music gigs they organize, as well as to a curated list of
gigs organised by their partner-venues. The service is currently only available in London, and
already counts on the support of 6 of the city’s most well established independent live music
venues (including The Victoria, Fiddlers’ Elbow and Underbelly Hoxton), and 30+ of the best up
and coming artists on the scene.

To start, Gotobeat members will have free access to at least 10 gigs per month and can choose
to go to as many of them as they want. Details such as the date, line-up, and location are made available on the platform from between a month and a week before the gigs are scheduled to
take place, with new shows being announced on a weekly basis. As the subscription base grows
over the next couple of months, the Gotobeat team has pledged to double the number of
monthly gigs offered as well as to offer new locations and music genres.

How does it work:
1. Pick the gig. Fans sign in and browse a list of Gotobeat gigs happening near them,
filtering by time, location and genre. Short snippets of the artists’ latest music is on the
gig page, giving members an easy way to check out their music before the show.

2. Download the free ticket. After they have chosen their favorite gig(s), they follow a
simple process of requesting their “Free Member Ticket”, which is instantly and
conveniently sent to them by email.

3. Enjoy. That’s it. They are all set and ready to go to the venue to enjoy the gig.

“Everybody is into music, but not necessarily into live music. And the reason is simple: going to
a gig is just too complicated. Our mission is to make the process of going to see an artist play
much easier. We want to make live music on-demand and more convenient, whilst keeping the
quality of each gig as high as possible” says Max Busin, Founder and CEO of Gotobeat. “Our
objective is to be able to pay artists better, bring more people to venues and create value for the
entire live music ecosystem”.

Gotobeat is building up a community of music lovers. Through their gigs, they want to create the
opportunity for their members to meet new friends, discover new music and have fun enjoying
great up and coming artists performing.

To get access to Gotobeat and enjoy a first month of the service at £4.99/month, visit their
platform at https://www.gotobeat.com/

And if you are a venue or artist who wants to be an active part of the project, apply on their platform to perform or host a gig.
