Annahstasia - Tether (2025)
Tether is a breathtaking debut that foregrounds Annahstasia’s extraordinary husky voice, operating within expansively minimal yet emotionally rich arrangements. Her vocals—simultaneously intimate and commanding—navigate relational tension, personal growth, and vulnerability, framed by subtle woodwinds, swelling Mellotron, and hush-and-swell dynamics. Purposeful silences and live-takes enhance the feeling of immediacy, making each lyric feel whispered directly to the listener. Collaborations with Obongjayar and Aja Monet feel natural extensions of her expressive landscape, adding textured dialogue rather than mere features. The result is an immersive blend of folk, chamber-pop, and soul: understated yet deeply resonant, yielding one of the most assured debut albums of 2025.
