With her debut single “Away From You,” Fabia Anderson delivers a striking introduction to her unique blend of avant-pop, showcasing her progressive writing style and classical roots. Produced by the renowned Leo Abrahams (Regina Spektor, Katie Melua), the track is an exquisite tapestry of lush instrumentation that weaves together piano, strings, brass, bass, and percussion to create a cinematic and emotionally charged experience.
At the heart of “Away From You” lies a reflection on the messy, ambiguous nature of human emotions—especially those tied to love. Anderson captures the delicate beginnings of romance, the dramatic turmoil of indecision, and the ultimate surrender to feelings of elation and freedom. It’s a song that balances vulnerability with strength, much like the artist herself, whose journey through music began as a path of healing.
British-born and based in London, Fabia Anderson’s diverse Scottish and Indian heritage informs her eclectic sound. She draws inspiration from the refinement of Agnes Obel, the experimentalism of Radiohead, and the lyrical storytelling of Fiona Apple. The result is a sound that feels both deeply personal and universal, a quality that shines through in “Away From You.”
Anderson’s musical journey is one of resilience. Beginning at just six years old, she turned to singing lessons as a form of rehabilitation after experiencing physical bullying. Her songwriting, which emerged from poetry and piano compositions, became a lifeline through mental health struggles, creating songs as pillars of strength to embrace, process, and overcome.
With a background as a session musician, Anderson has played for other artists across the UK and Europe, supporting acts such as Ed Sheeran, BANKS, and Paris Paloma. Now, with “Away From You,” she steps into the spotlight as a solo artist, delivering a debut that is as rich in emotional depth as it is in musicality. This is only the beginning of a promising career for Fabia Anderson, whose blend of avant-pop, classical influences, and fearless storytelling marks her as a compelling new voice on the music scene.
