Anessa steps forward with โEs Asi,โ a Latin-pop single shaped by tenderness, resilience, and an unflinching look at the realities so many families face. Rooted in Oxnard and molded by her own production instincts, she pulls from community, memory, and struggles to make a song intimate, relatable and inspiring because she shows us to keep moving, loving, and resisting despite all the downs amidst the few ups. The track aligns with her larger artistic mission, to build unity through storytelling while still offering something bright enough to lift the heart.
The record opens on shimmery guitar melodies drifting over a warm, expansive atmosphere, like sunrise after a long night. Anessa enters almost as if sheโs talking to you one-on-one, her voice reflective and steady, tracing the edges of struggle with a conversational ease that makes her honesty hit harder. Thereโs a soft ache in her delivery, but also a quiet conviction, coming from having lived what sheโs singing, which makes it all the more authentic.
As the rhythm section kicks in with organic taps and rapping percussion, the energy shifts. Her voice tightens into something catchier and more forward-moving, rising into a faster, more melodic flow that carries the song into its emotional stride. In her higher notes, she reaches a gorgeous, airy softness that;s freeing, like choosing hope in real time. The backing vocals answer her with a communal lift, adding a cultural warmth that feels like a circle of voices standing together rather than one person singing alone.
The music video deepens the message, following a family navigating the devastation of an ICE separation. Itโs heartbreakingly real, but Anessa threads love, courage, and connection through every scene, echoing the trackโs insistence that even in the hardest moments, people endure. โEs Asiโ lands as both a song and a quiet act of resistance, soft-spoken, heartfelt, but powerful in its clarity.
