about

"Quiet" is blending chill-inducing choir harmonies and lofi guitar with afrobeat grooves and soulful vocals.

Weaving together vintage soul with contemporary R&B, ANKAH's unique sound has already garnered critical acclaim. She has won the award for "Best Newcomer" at the SSMA, played major festivals and gained the praise of Herbie Crichlow (backstreet boys). The danish singers diaristic quality of writing insinuates lived experience, as she on this new track gently encourages us to let go of past mistakes.
lyrics

lyrics

Something wants to get out
Something wants to shout
But something inside is saying “be quiet now”

Noiseless though my head is loud
An ocean of doubt.
Still some other thing is saying
“be quiet now, be quiet now”

But It’s been quiet for way too long
On the verge of eruption, I fall.
Wolves in the night,
why did they stop howling from their white hearts?
Have I been drowning them?

Quiet way too long
Silent, though your strong
Quiet way too long
Quiet way too long

The beauty of these beasts
Won’t ever be revealed
If I will keep them caged in a place that no one knows

I never wanted to be trouble
but the silence made it double
I heard that if you don’t let them out in time, they might eat you up alive
Eat your guts and your pride

But It’s been quiet for way too long
On the verge of eruption,
I fall into the night
Why did the wolves stop howling from their white hearts?
Have I been drowning them?

In my weary head
I know what I should have said In my weary head
My soul knows what
I should have said.
