Anselyn is an emerging Cape Cod-born singer/songwriter, who traces the origins of her music career to her childhood: Although she was a painfully shy girl, who was too afraid to sing or perform in front of large groups, she did enjoy singing to her dogs and cats.
When she grew up, the Cap Cod-born artist, spent most of her adult life working jobs in industries that weren’t particularly creative. Whatever songs she did write, she didn’t finish. But she finally decided it was time to finish some of those songs she had written and record what would be her full-length with debut with producer Elliott Lanam at Santa Barbara, CA-based Hidden City Studios.
The Massachusetts-born artist’s single “Triggered” is an Easy Listening/Quiet Storm-like pop song with elements of smooth jazz that will remind some listeners of Sade but with a subtly modern edginess — and anchored by Anselyn’s coy yet coquettish delivery.
“‘Triggered,” as Anselyn explains “is a song about tortured love, where you wanted to be with someone badly (and ached for them to love you back), yet they drove you crazy with their hot-then-cold indecisiveness . . . Their emotional swings would drive one mad.”
