Sri-Lankan-born, Naarm/Melbourne-based singer, songwriter, and producer ANUJA has won my heart with his gorgeous new single, “Your Stranger.” His striking voice stopped me in my tracks. It’s so flawless, effortlessly moving into falsetto and creating such an intimate vibe. Consider me swept off my feet.
“This song is a conversation between two lovers,” ANUJA explained. “It’s one person saying, I don’t know what will happen between us in the bigger sense; whether we’ll go to heaven, whether there’s reincarnation or rebirth, whether we’re twin flames or soulmates. I don’t know. But what I do know is that in this moment, we’re together.”
This track is even more impressive when you realise ANUJA is an entirely self-taught musician and producer. He’s doing it all from his home studio while balancing his career as a doctor. That’s right; he could save your life too. Swoon.
