In a world filled with noise and uncertainty, Aneesa Strings offers a refreshing escape through her latest project, The Calm EP. Inspired by the chaotic news cycle of 2024 and personal challenges, the talented singer-songwriter and bassist sought to create something that promotes peace, balance, and self-regulation. The Calm serves as a musical sanctuary, offering listeners a place to breathe, reset, and reconnect with themselves.

Music lovers were first introduced to The Calm in the fall of 2024 with the release of the lead single, We Are The Music. Written by Aneesa Al-Musawwir and produced by David Michael Ott, the song quickly became a fan favorite, soaring to the #1 spot on SiriusXM’s Heart & Soul for several consecutive weeks. The track’s infectious rhythm and uplifting message resonated deeply, setting the stage for an EP that blends soulful melodies with intentional storytelling.
Following the success of We Are The Music, Aneesa delivered Gramercy Place, a heartfelt exploration of vulnerability, self-protection, and the importance of setting boundaries in relationships. Each song on The Calm embodies a unique emotional depth, allowing listeners to experience music that not only soothes but also empowers.

The EP showcases a remarkable lineup of industry-leading musicians and producers, including vocal producer, arranger, and engineer David Michael Ott, producer SndTrak, Kool and The Gang’s Music Director Curtis Williams, legendary drummer James Gadson, keyboardist Ron “T’Nava” Avant, and longtime collaborators Greg Paul and Brandon Cordova. This dynamic collaboration has resulted in a project that stands as a testament to Aneesa’s artistry and dedication to creating music with meaning.
As anticipation builds, Aneesa is set to release All In My Mind as the next official single. A song about self-belief and overcoming doubt, it has already captivated audiences with its powerful message. “It’s kind of like saving the best for last to me, because this song has gotten powerful reactions from everyone that has heard it – whether live or recorded,” Aneesa shares. “This song is all about believing in the vision in your mind and fighting through self-doubt to be your greatest self.”
With The Calm, Aneesa Strings invites listeners to embrace tranquility while finding strength in the power of music. As she gears up to announce The Calm Tour, fans can expect an unforgettable live experience that brings the EP’s soul-stirring essence to the stage. Stay tuned for tour dates and prepare to embark on a journey of musical serenity and empowerment with Aneesa Strings.
