23-YEAR OLD RISING STAR

ANASTASIA

IS MAKING RADIO PROGRAMERS NOSTALGIC

WITH HIT RADIO SINGLE/MUSIC VIDEO “REMINSCE”

It’s been a great year for 23-year old rising star Anastasia. Her debut radio single “Nothing Compares” made a huge impact at gospel and urban AC radio last year and this summer she’s heating things up again with a scorching hot new radio single entitled, “Reminisce.” Combing the energy of House music with pounding bass, an infectious hook and the Atlanta-based college student’s satiny vocals makes this track a contender.

Recently, gospel radio programmers have been pleading with artists for more up-tempo songs to break up the monotony of the ballad-heavy genre and those programmers are eagerly welcoming Anastasia’s new hit. "It’s a very radio friendly track that can go Urban AC in some cases,” says Lee Pettigrew, Program Director for WUFO in Buffalo, NY where Anastasia’s single jumped from #27 on last week’s chart to #17 this week. “This issue she talks about in the lyrics of the song is something all of us deal with so the song is very well written and is already a sure fire hit here in Buffalo."

The issue Pettigrew refers to is a simple message.  In the hook of the track, Anastasia sings to God in this song of gratitude, “I reminisce on how I used to be before I found you, I reminisce on how I used to cry but now I feel alive, I reminisce on how I was down but things have turned around.” Ron Thompson, Program Director at WPRS in Washington, D.C. says, “I love this record. It’s a celebration of Inspiration.”

Anastasia recently filmed a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mK5QhJUIzI) of the song that shows the beautiful young woman doing some slick dancing and showing off her keen fashion style. It’s already resonating with the youthful demographic her music is likely to influence the most with You Tube fans making comments calling the video poppin’ or dope. “This music is fresh,” she adds. “I feel like we really need this because there are so many youth out there that need to be touched and they don’t have anyone or anything to relate to and I feel like I am that person.  You can be unique. You can be fly. You can be classy and still be saved.”

“Reminisce” is just a taste of the inspiring contemporary sounds to be found on Anastasia’s soon coming debut CD “I Am Yours” (Over & Above Music Group) that is sure to establish her in the music industry and raise the bar for contemporary gospel artists. "It’s an uplifting song with a really great message,” says Jay Nyce, Program Director for WFAI in Wilmington, DE. “Anastasia has a great voice and this song is yet another outstanding display of her vocal talent."
