Anabel Rose Is Ready For Her World Stage Moment At The Great Escape Ghana’s favourite alt-pop sensation is set to perform at The Great Escape festival in May, riding a wave of critical momentum. The Ghanaian-Filipino alternative pop artist is taking her genre-bending sound to international shores, having been confirmed as a performer at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, UK, billed as “The Festival for New Music,” running from 13 to 16 May 2026. The announcement arrives on the heels of her latest single, “Imperfect Daughters”, a poignant cinematic ballad that has drawn widespread acclaim since its release. Known for her introspective songwriting and genre-blurring sound, the track speaks directly to anyone navigating life’s unpredictable path. With honest and intimate storytelling, it reflects on growing up with big childhood fantasies and the quiet realisation that comes when life doesn’t unfold as planned. Anabel Rose’s multicultural identity sits at the very heart of her music. Growing up, she absorbed the sounds of both her Ghanaian and Filipino backgrounds, the latter famously associated with karaoke culture and P-pop ballads — a genre that, like her, defies easy categorisation. Rooted in pop, her music effortlessly incorporates elements of rock, R&B, alté, house, bossa nova, and jazz.  That boundary-pushing spirit earned her early international recognition while securing her nods from multiple publication and DSP spotlights on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack and Pandora. Her Brighton debut marks a significant milestone in a career that has steadily outgrown borders. The Great Escape Festival has helped launch the careers of some of the world’s brilliant artists and Anabel Rose fits right in that line. With “Imperfect Daughters” already resonating deeply with fans, Anabel Rose is no longer just Ghana’s favourite alternative voice, she is making her case to the world.

"Imperfect Daughters": Anabel Rose Reflects On A Perfectly-Imperfect World We spend our lives chasing dreams and goals, not knowing the curveballs life will throw at us. How do you deal with it? Like many of us who find ourselves at such crossroads, Anabel Rose offers a moment of reflection in her new song.  Titled 'Imperfect Daughters', the ballad digs into the subconscious of anyone whose life has taken an unexpected detour. The honest and intimate storytelling reflects on growing up with big childhood fantasies and the quiet realisation that comes when life doesn’t unfold as planned. “But sometimes your life makes other plans…. Now you’re dead in the water… With should-haves and would-haves …"  The song is a cold reminder that while we create our perfect worlds in our fantasies, life will throw imperfections our way through curveballs. Regardless of those imperfections, we should bask in the highs and not be consumed by the lows.  "Imperfect Daughters" is me finding a tender space between disappointment and resilience. It’s reflective, empowering, and great for a reflective POV through the lens of women who are pushing the needle and breaking ground not just for themselves but for their families and future generations." – Anabel Rose  The song is an anthem of hope for those who are finding it hard to reconcile their decision of carving unconventional paths for themselves in a world where people are often pushed to follow a stereotype. It offers comfort away from the guilt that eats you when you tow a lane removed from the expectations of others.  Produced by Insvne Auggie, the song is carried by emotive vocals and a gradual, cinematic build, carrying listeners on an immersive sonic journey.  Imperfect Daughters is available to stream across all DSPs here  

Anabel Rose Gets Intimate On “How I Want It” Too often, love is framed as soft and innocent, but it can also be bold, magnetic, and intensely intentional. That’s the kind of love Anabel Rose explores on her new single How I Want It.  Following an eventful 2024, which saw the release of her debut project Something About A  Rose, Ghanaian-Filipino alt-pop artist Anabel Rose, opens 2025 with a confident new chapter. With fans eager to see what’s next, Anabel shows she’s fully stepping into her power.  Produced by Insane Auggie, How I Want It is a sultry yet vibrant alt-R&B track — a mid-tempo bounce that rides the line between flirtation and full-blown intention. Gone is the hesitant yearning of “Lungs.” In its place: velvety vocals, clarity, and a bold declaration of desire.  “Hardly breathing. You’re on my mind boy lately,” she opens, revealing a lover who craves connection but also refuses to chase. “I wanna know bad you want it... Is it bad how I want it?” she asks — not from a place of doubt, but assurance. This is not a game of guessing; it’s a call for emotional transparency.  As the track unfolds, Anabel leans into the daring, addictive nature of intimacy. Lines like “My chocolate... You’re so sweet to me... I need a fix... No counterfeit... I’ll never quit,” and “Dive in  my river... Let it rain when I’m tingling... Steady the rhythm... Locking eyes” reflect a love that’s consuming and immersive. The fading echoes of “so addictive” say it all.  How I Want It is Anabel Rose at her most intimate yet. Her ability to unpack the complexities of love with vulnerability and confidence showcases the richness of her artistry and songwriting.  Stream How I Want It — available now on all major platforms here
