about

"Oceanview" is an alluring blend of chill-inducing vocal harmonies and soulful lofi guitar. 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

I woke up by the ocean
breeze running through your golden hair
empty palms but relieved
as we share this memory

I don't need those bags
I've carried way too much trash
I won't hold it
I'll let it go
I don't need those bags
I've carried way too much trash
my mirror of yesterday melts away

Kingfisher crossing the sea
We'll be watching him silently
Your eyes make me believe
That it is all just memories
Memories heavy
Heavy on me

I don't need those bags I've carried
way too much trash
I won't hold it
I'll let it go
I don't need those bags
I've carried
way too much trash
my mirror of yesterday melts away

If you follow me to the river
we'll swim together to the other side
So just follow me to the river deep
We'll swim together to the other side

I don't need those bags I've carried
way too much trash
I won't hold it
I'll let it go
I don't need those bags
I've carried
way too much trash
my mirror of yesterday melts away
