Anike Continues Her Single Run With 'Watch Her Glow'
Christian rap artist Anike, formerly known as Wande, is back with an empowering new anthem, 'Watch Her Glow,' out now via Reach Records. The fiery single follows on from last month’s intimate and vulnerable release entitled “Ultrasound,†which coincided with the announcement of Anike’s pregnancy.
Speaking on the new single, Anike shares: “With this record I wanted to celebrate the amazing beauty that comes with womanhood. This record can be a perfect get ready song to hype you up as you step into boss mode. Currently in my pregnancy season, I wanted to remind all children of God but most specifically women that they’re a light in the world & lit no matter what season they’re in: single, dating, married, pregnant, or mama mode. Through all the seasons, you’re still THAT GIRL.â€
“Watch Her Glow†is a fun uptempo song about embracing femininity. Unwavering in her strength and empowerment from Christ, Anike’s breakneck flow is front and center as she rattles off effortlessly about the benefits of living for God. Blending themes of faith, reflection, and positivity, she continues to redefine the boundaries of holy hip-hop. And although she’s no stranger to pulling listeners into her God-fearing orbit, Anike’s latest single consummates a level up that’s palpable, informed by changes in her everyday life.
Back in May, the mother-to-be uploaded a breathtaking visualizer to Instagram to announce her pregnancy. In the video, the camera slowly zooms out as Anike embraces the love and light that parenting brings. “Ultrasound,†which garnered from publications such as The HYPE Magazine, The Christian Beat, JubileeCast, and more, crystalized her tangible excitement for motherhood, bound together by a hard-won sense of profound fulfillment.
Extending Anike’s winning streak, last month, her song “WAKANDE†was included in the “Sleeper Picks†segment of the Joe Budden Podcast. Further solidifying her status as a rising star, the single is a fan favorite from her debut album, EXIT. The unexpected co-sign further underscores Anike’s growing influence across Christian music and cements her position as a force to be reckoned with.
