"Nina" is a tribute to self-expression from rising UK soul artist and Arca-collaborator Anaïs

"[She] represents true freedom and fearlessness in art," says the London based singer. "[She] inspired me to overcome the fears that inhibit me, so that I can be a voice for freedom through my music."

Born in Toulouse to a Senegalese father and Franco Italian mother, Anaïs played violin and sang in a classical choir. At the age of ten, she moved to Dublin, learned English and started to experiment as a songwriter. Then to California where her first exposure to gospel and R&B led to a love of soul music, and to New York, where she graduated from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU.

She's been under the radar since the start of the decade - collaborating with the likes of Erin Rioux and former classmate Arca on some of her earlier tracks ("He's a genius, incredible man," she says of Arca) and is now London-based for the next stage of her career.

"Nina" sees Anaïs up her game with a stunning video shot on the island of Gorée in Senegal and directed by South London Born, British-Ghanaian creative Campbell Addy, who shot Joey Bada$$ for last year's collab with ASOS.
