Ananda Đuranović, or simply Ananda, is a talented Croatian singer-songwriter and producer who’s been on an ascending trajectory. The musician has a new EP titled Duende. I learnt about this project after stumbling on the title track.

“Duende” encapsulates Ananda’s cinematic alt-pop sound. Elements of power pop and dark pop are easily discernible. The track is harmony-filled and quite emotionally charged, the pensive lyrics and epic drumbeats augmenting the song’s emotive feel.

I find the whole EP worth a listen. Stream all the five tracks and be sure to follow Anada on Instagram.
