AQUA TOFFANA

Description

Neither an American singer nor a Russian princess, Anastasia is a French artist. A sensitive soul with a soulful character, this young artist with an urban vein possesses her own vitality, her own groove, an authentic sound, as rootsy as can be. We have here a bubbling fire, a personality that commands attention. A marvelous little speck of sound, her music and her cheeky charm unite to offer evocative music, words, and instant colorful poetry. Her album evokes Aqua Tofana, used in the 16th century by wives eager to get rid of an annoying or unfaithful husband… The tone is set: Anastasia's new opus creates soul music with organic grooves, in which she distills her moods, navigates by sight between the temperaments that drive us, and observes love with the disdain of bitterness. Evanescent human moods sublimated by her voice, Anastasia sings the tears of a life which sometimes, when they fade, allow a peaceful gaze upon our world to emerge. Each track on the album contributes to the whole with its color, its mood, and its collaborators: Batlik, Alexis HK, Lautrec, Faudile de France. Anastasia does not belong to a school but to a trajectory, playing with the stigmata of a generation, one that has digested hip hop and thrilled to lyric-driven songs. Her Aqua Tofana, slowly, subtly, will gnaw at you from within and take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
