Adieu Anaïs Visits Section 36 Music!

Adieu Anaïs is a fantastic singer who released her debut self titled EP today! I was flattered that she wanted to visit with us to discuss her EP, her future goals, and more! I'm sure you'll love what she had to say.

So, let's see what happens when Adieu Anaïs visits Section 36 Music!

I am incredibly excited about your EP, “Adieu Anaïs”. What can you tell me about it? 

This is inspired by a vivid dream I experienced over a decade ago while navigating a relationship that left me feeling disconnected from myself, Adieu Anaïs is both an intimate confession and an act of defiance. In the dream, I found myself wandering through a dark forest with chains around my ankles, forced to continue toward a place associated with my unhappiness. In the distance, I discovered a cave glowing with light, filled with vibrant colors, an orchestra, and people dancing in celebration. There, I encountered my four-year-old self, joyfully immersed in the music. As I prepared to leave the cave and return to the darkness, the orchestra conductor called out, “Adieu Anaïs!” before I disappeared into the forest.

That dream became my turning point. Upon waking, I understood how far I had drifted from my aspirations and the things that made me feel most alive. I ended the relationship shortly afterward, resolving never to compromise my identity again. Years later, that subconscious vision has become the foundation of my artistic identity, with each track capturing a different stage of my journey from disconnection to rediscovery.

Do you have a favorite memory from the recording process? 

Seeing where each song wants to go and what shape it takes organically while in the studio is the most beautiful unfolding to witness. I cannot capture that feeling anywhere else, but the studio.

What would you say is the biggest challenge from your music career? 

The biggest challenge is battling self-doubt. Although I am extremely proud of the work I have done, it can still loom in the background and affect how I show up for myself. 

Who or what would you consider your biggest musical inspiration? My biggest musical inspiration comes from the subconscious. 

My EP was written from a dream, and often I will hear music and write what I heard from the dream world. For this EP, I pulled from my love of electronic music, hyper pop, and romantic era classical music. I love creating euphoric soundscapes that are emotional and introspective.

If you could cover any Disney song, which would you choose? Why? 

I’ve never really been inclined to cover Disney songs to be honest, but I do love Pocahontas so maybe I’d cover “Colors of the Wind”.

What are your immediate musical goals? 

Since I am new to Boston, my immediate goals are playing more shows in the Boston area and building an inclusive and supportive community. Also, becoming fully self-sustained by my music —which is more of a possibility because anyone can now purchase my music directly on my website.
