5dB’s anaiis Continues Her Global Rise

“It’s clear that anaiis creates entire worlds with her music—anytime you put on one of her songs, you’re transported into a comforting, easy-listening space where her lyrics resonate deeply and feel personal.” - EARMILK

This year, we joined forces with the West London based label and creative community 5dB, home to an exciting roster of innovative artists. Amongst this collective is London-based French-Senegalese artist anaiis, who is set to share her next project via Absolute on November 4th, following the recent release of her first new music of 2026, with singles “Sunshine” and “P4P”. Recorded in London with a live band, these singles highlight the breadth of anaiis' artistry and the evolving direction of her immersive production and deeply emotional storytelling. 

Ahead of her upcoming EP project, anaiis is set to tour across the US and Canada this September for her first North American headline tour. This live momentum builds off of her recent EU tour this year, which included sold out headline slots at London’s Islington Assembly Hall and Brick Lane Jazz Festival. Amongst her impressive further past live show history, she has opened for Daniel Caesar on his UK tour, shared the stage with Erykah Badu and much more. 

Her current live show achievements have been in support and celebration of her 2025 album ‘Devotion & the Black Divine’. Blending poignant lyricism with comforting chords, the album showcased compelling storytelling against a backdrop of soul-infused instrumentation, and has already seen over 20 million streams across platforms. ‘Devotion & The Black Divine’ was met with critical acclaim, included as an album of the year by The New Yorker, Apple Music, BBC 6 Music, and Wordplay Magazine, with further support in The Guardian, The Observer, Rolling Stone UK, BBC, Numéro, Crack Magazine, CLASH, and more.

Now, with her new music on the way and a pivotal upcoming tour, anaiis continues to expand her artistic world, inviting audiences around the globe into a space of intimacy, reflection, and connection.
