Annava Starts The Year With Emotion-Rich Garage House In “I Know”

Sacramento-based electronic music producer Annava dabbles in the world of melodic Garage House for his latest chilling single, "I Know."

For Annava, he's one of the lucky ones. He knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life since hearing deadmau5 at age 11. Now, the 22-year-old producer has several releases that travel through electronic subgenres like electronica, happy hardcore, electro-funk, J-pop, and even phonk.

His latest single, "I Know," introduces listeners to a softer side of Annava that explores the sounds of UK Garage, 90s jungle, DnB, and house. "Mostly, my music has no inherent sentimentality or meaning," explains Annava. "'I Know' became the exception when I chopped up some vocals I recorded for an unreleased track, and it became a reflection of the pain of leaving someone you are in love with.”

Hitting play on "I Know," the experience opens with sharp drum breaks that gradually lead into an even richer percussive breakdown alongside haunting vocal chops. As the tender pads begin making their way into the foreground alongside fluttering synth melodies, that same distorted vocal chop expresses the pain of leaving someone you love and understanding that they deserve better than you had given.

A harsh reality indeed, but Annava makes it enlightening. Within the subtle DnB nods and celestial atmosphere, there's an unspoken message to the listener that everything gets better with time. Annava's production is top-tier; he's positioning himself as a force in the modern electronic space with tracks like "I Know," we're eager to see where it lands him.

Do yourself a favor and treat your mind, body, and soul to Annava's refreshing new single, "I Know," now available on all digital streaming platforms.
