Anika Releases New Song “Walk Away”
British-German singer-songwriter Annika Henderson, aka Anika will her upcoming third studio album “Abyss” on April 4, 2025.
The album comprises 10 songs and is first studio LP in four years since the 2021 album “Change”.
From the album, she released a new song “Walk Away” along with a music video on March 4, 2025.
The song is the second single off of the album, following “Hearsay” released last month.
The accompanying video was directed by Laura Martinova, who filmed it in an ex-brothel.
Anika said of the song, “This song is saying all the things I want to say but am too scared to say or that society doesn’t accept me to say. It is dealing with mental health - the state of poor mental health in these fucked up, divided, isolated, social media, war, pest, rise of the right times. It is the deconstruction of the feminine - f topics considered to be private realm.”- Anika explained about the video as “plays with the socially constructed ideas of femininity, of sexuality, of sexual restriction and confronts them.”
She continued, “The character is quite sufficient by herself, sexually and socially liberated — and also a bit of a mess, destroying the prim and proper idea of how a good wifey should be. She is a hedonist, she lets herself go, she shows anger, she shows being drunk, she seems to enjoy dusting the pictures of the naked ladies very much, she is independent and breaking out of all the bars imposed by the patriarchy. The guy in the video never finds her, never even gets close, doesn’t in the slightest disrupt her life, he continues to look but she seems to always be a step ahead.” -
