Anjalts returns with her latest single, “Every Breath,” released September 19, that takes her distinctive DIY artistry into fresh territory. Known for producing, writing, and performing all her own material, the Los Angeles–based artist continues to blend intimacy with electronic pulse. Following singles like “Chasing the Wind” and “Dim the Lights,” this release leans into dance-pop yet carries the acoustic soulfulness that defines her catalog. It’s a song about finding warmth in a coldly digitized world, in the dearth of connection or warmth.
The track opens with shimmering synths that glimmer like city lights breaking through fog, quickly joined by thumping bass and kick drums that mimic a heartbeat. The rhythm locks into an entrancing groove, propelling the song forward with steady urgency. Anjalts’ voice enters like a delicate, yearning, almost otherworldly wisp of air. There’s a melancholy in her tone, but also a quiet resilience, as though she’s singing to hold onto something slipping away. When she breathes out the titular refrain, “Every breath,” it lands like a longing for closeness, each inhale and exhale embodying the vulnerability of desire.
The beauty lies in the tension the song creates. In that way, “Every Breath” mirrors the push and pull of modern connection, as the high-tech world offers us endless access, yet intimacy still feels out of reach.
Reflective and exhilarating, “Every Breath” is a dance-pop single that pushes the noise of digital disconnection to the forefront, to show you that the most powerful rhythm is still the human heartbeat.
