ZIMBABWEAN-BORN songstress - Ananya has released a single- Gone (Forever) which is a lead single from her forthcoming debut EP.
The EP was recorded in Cape Town, South Africa.
Relatable and empowering, as the chorus kicks in Ananya sings “I got the feeling that I’m getting over you, it arrived tonight right on cue” as she asserts herself as having moved on from a stale relationship.
Speaking on the track, Ananya said: “‘Gone (Forever)’ is inspired by a vivid dream; it’s an uplifting pop track that encompasses the feeling of finding strength from within and letting go. It explores the realisation that one is giving more than they receive, accepting it, and leaving with no hard feelings.”
The artists expect her single to dominate radio after her previous production in 2021 - “Where’s the Love” received over 350 plays with a radio impact of 12.6 million impressions.
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Ananya spent her younger years developing her love for music by soaking up her mother’s eclectic music taste as well as performing, writing and learning to play piano, guitar and drums.
A genuine multi-talent, Ananya’s creative talents also run to fashion design and her recently co-founded non-profit organisation The Nani Wellness Project, which focuses on raising awareness and providing help to those struggling with mental health issues in Zimbabwe.
With a slew of releases set for this year, “Gone (Forever)” looks set to underline Ananya as

- Zim Goshawks go down fighting against Valke
- Travelling & touring: Darker side of travelling and touring
