The popular blog NeuFutur is head over heels for Anja’s new single Theory of Relativity.
“Theory of Relativity is an effort that brings in hints of pop, EDM, and R&B in a very timeless fashion. The bit of new age sound that is presented during the single calls back to an earlier musical tradition (e.g. Enya, Enigma, early Sarah McLachlan). By the time the song concludes, listeners will be amazed at the sheer vocal range of Kotar.”

The known Salute Mag reviews Anja's new single How to Be Cool, saying it, "is literally the epitome of cool. It’s the song to play when riding downtown or in your bedroom, getting dressed to go out. Anja’s vocals are not those of a 20-year-old girl. More like a woman in her mid-20s or early 30s with a car, a trendy closet, and an impressive credit score."

Hey fam! The release of the album is a just a little over two weeks away and I'm premiering a few tracks from it tomorrow in virtual reality :)
I'm working together with Chew On This Storytelling and AltSpaceVR to bring a new element to the music. I've always believed that albums should be more than just songs, that they should be an experience (hence, the Too Cool store --> check out the trailer here ;) so the event tomorrow is the first step in that direction.
Come hang at 6pm PST: https://account.altvr.com/events/669040664050139420
