Anandita pours her heart on in her latest song, Anything
"Anything" from Indian/American teen R&B drenched pop singer-songwriter Anandita. On the new track she teamed up with producer Miklos Malek (Jennifer Lopez, Anastacia) and Michael Orland of American Idol fame.
“Anything” is a heart-gripping song that features a mix of powerful vocals and a profound chorus that is as timeless as it is captivating. The track begins with Anandita singing the first verse softly, gradually taking the listener on an honest and emotive journey that culminates into a dramatic anthem of strength and vulnerability. Lyrics such as, “That the way you treated me / Would lead me to a broken heart / I can't feel anything,” echo the relatable and universal narrative of being stuck in an unfulfilled relationship or friendship while trying to find the courage to break free.
Anandita is an Indian-American soulful pop singer-songwriter who is characterized by her dynamic vocal prowess, cathartic lyricism, and relatable storytelling. The 17-year-old was born and raised in the Bay Area of California by Indian immigrant parents. Introduced to music when she was just a toddler, Anandita began playing tunes on the mini toy keyboard that her parents bought for her. Even at such an early age, she was a music perfectionist, slamming the keys and having small breakdowns over wrong notes. Speaking only Tamil, when she was a preschooler, Anandita learned to communicate in English by singing popular American hit songs.
As a teen, she became inspired by not only Indian classical music, but also by Ariana Grande and 90s icons including Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, admiring their incredible power and spectacular vocal versatility. Soon, her own singing ability became undeniable and she began to study under famed vocal teacher, Michael Orland. Orland is well-known for his work with American Idol and has helped launch countless young talents’ successful careers. Their collaboration proved to be written in the stars, as Orland encouraged Anandita to begin writing her own music. Teaming up with producer Miklos Malek (Jennifer Lopez, Anastacia), the trio met in Dubai to record and write Anandita’s debut single “Anything”.

Anandita confides, “I’m sure everyone has been in a situation where you’re involved with someone that you deeply care about, and you just know that the feeling isn’t reciprocated. “Anything” is actually about a toxic friendship. Still, the attachment is so strong and you’re not able to leave, and after getting hurt so many times in this endless, toxic loop, eventually, you just become emotionally numb to everything…you can’t feel anything.”
Now based in India, Anandita continues to write and record music, perfecting her craft every day. She hopes her music helps listeners feel like they’re not alone in difficult situations and that they are inspired to embody confidence, authenticity, and self-respect. “No one wants to experience negative emotions, but one good thing that comes from this is that it can form really close bonds with others going through similar experiences.” Anandita is one to watch as she steps into the spotlight with her stunning debut single. “Anything” is out now.
