This week, I chat to Anusha, whose pop/R&B sound combines her classical training, and her poetry (strongly paralleling my own songwriting background). She brings her track “Someone I Never Wanted”, written about her experience of sexual harassment at university.
She describes her struggle to break free of the limits imposed on her by her classical mindset, excessive music theory & the perception of her as a black artist. We also discuss the value of play in a society obsessed with points-based achievements, how hip-hop acts as a meeting place for her influences, and how inner reflection can precipitate social change.
