LIKE A DRUG
Pretty. Soft. Alluringâ¦..Liquid Sensualityâ¦..like a drug.

A calming contrast from todayâs harsh sexuality, LIKE A DRUG is a sumptuous ode to subtle sensuality and brazen femininity.

The debut track from the upcoming URBAN MAVEN MUSIC album release, â1â, from the very compelling ANIKA, âlike a drugâ is a mouth-watering pre fixe.

Produced at the Liquid Lab in Deep Ellum, TX, LIKE A DRUG features the complex stylings of Terrance Ballard with mini-mogul, Malex creating the sophisticated âblend of anikaâ with none other than the artistic styling of ANIKA herself. The âdope lounge mixâ is courtesy of Twin Citiesâ favorite Soulhouse DJ, Jason Heinrichs of Anomaly.

âI write and sing what I feel and try to capture the essence of the feeling at the timeâ¦.it doesnât necessarily rhyme or fit in a scale, but it fits the natural order of lifeâ¦..with all its rawness, fragility, and passionâ¦..without edit.â

"like a drug' is about that feeling of vulnerability you feel when you first fall in love...unexpectedly....it comes from that quiet place where you hold all your fears, and all of your desires...."

The âdope remixâ, by Darin Baker featuring spoken rhyme poetess, Isis, is an ode to the body-poppinâ, ass-shakinâ sound of the South. Complete with instrumental and vox tracks, this 5 track maxi-including the full-length BONUS video-is a journey from the lounge to the dance floorâ¦.and wherever your mind takes youâ¦..like a drug.

A soul siren with a soothing elixir, ANIKAâs hauntingly surreal voice reveals sultry textures and a natural lushness likened to Erykah Badu and even Minnie Rippertonâ¦.pure, unadulterated, real.

âI work hard to recreate the feeling I felt when I first felt it and try to capture all the nuances and texturesâ¦..I want you to really feel meâ¦.and allow me to resonate within youâ¦..would you mind?â
