Washington, D.C. (January 12, 2023) — Anees released his brand new single, “free me” on January 11th. This song is his most anthemic yet. It’s an irreverent call to action, inspiring listeners to remove all toxic people and influences from their life. If “new year, new me” were a song, it would be this one.

Anees, a native of the Washington DC Metropolitan area, released this song on the heels of his sold-out nationwide tour. The song was written by Anees and recorded by his Dutch production duo, Tantu Beats and Sekko. The chorus hits straight to the heart, as Anees proclaims boldly “I love myself enough to keep some space from you, you don’t control me anymore”. It’s a freedom song, released exactly when we need it most.

The official music video for “free me” was released on YouTube on January 11th.

 

Speaking on “free me”, anees shares:

“free me” is the most important song I’ve ever written. From the first time I shared it on social media, I could feel how special it was. Since then, fans have commented thousands of times, sharing how this song inspired them to leave their abusive ex, to make space from their manipulative parents, to cut out toxic friends from their life. And that is exactly why I wrote this song. It’s a freedom song. I want people to hear this record and to feel FREE. Above all else, that is my most heartfelt manifestation for this song”.  — anees
