95ANTNY SET TO RELEASE HIS NEW EP ‘LIMINAL SPACES’ on Wednesday 27th November

As 2024 draws to a close, 95ANTNY is set to release his first project: “LIMINAL SPACES”. A Liminal Space is described as “an in-between place or threshold we pass through from one area to another”; in other words, a type of limbo.
When speaking about the making of the project, 95ANTNY said:
“I knew I was going to work on something around this theme because it resonated with me a lot. It just happened that one day while going through a bunch of songs I’d made over time and grouping them according to vibe and mood, I realised I already had the songs for this theme. It’s been there all this while and this is why I believe sometimes an understanding of self happens when you’re revisiting things you’ve accumulated over a period of time.”
Throughout the year, 95 has teased the theme of this project with releases “CURIOUS CAESAR” AND “iDENTIFY”; with the former allowing him to explore the desire for personal growth and commenting on the latter: “…[the beat for iDENTIFY] helped as a guide to what direction I could explore more for Liminal Spaces, sonically.”
“LIMINAL SPACES” is the soundtrack to 95ANTNY’s own journey to confront the limbo he once found himself in. It sees collaborations with Kwabena Dennis, Selassie and production from Dan Akins, YOKOTHEMOON, Nebyou Alias and ATN Soul.
95 is finally sharing a fuller version of himself with 4 additional recordings which complete the project; including new single “UNDER THE SUN” seeing a collaboration with ATN Soul.
The project’s release will be accompanied by a pre-release listening party at Vibrate Studios in Accra and a roll out of visuals over a 2 week period. The project is set to be announced on Sunday 24th November.
2025 will also see more music from 95ANTNY as he continues to evolve in his artistry.
A Note from 95ANTNY:
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to express myself through this music.
This project, since I started putting it together, has been a soundtrack to a crucial part of my journey as a person and growth over the past two years.
It started out as a project to explore a theme but over time, has opened me up and like a fresh wound has taught me crucial and valuable lessons: that no matter the phases and periods of confusion and in times when your only wish is to give up and leave your body, there is that little voice that says it gets better.
Learning that in the in-between spaces remember not to panic, trust the process and surrender to the currents as it will lead you to new beginnings.
I’ve learnt that it’s fine to scream it out of your system to find ease in your body; knowing that the process is a period of learning, improvement, creation, collaboration and having an understanding of what matters.
I’ve learnt not to be scared to look inward, to be honest with myself and accept my wrongs and the consequences however hard they come.
Learning that my mistakes don’t define me and that I should extend grace to myself and do so for others.
Learning to not be so hard on myself, that when I feel the rush of negative emotions, I should understand that there’s so much life in here that I can make into great things.
I’ve learnt that the doubts and fears are not real, and to allow myself to accept love and not take it for granted, because love has the power to change you.
This project is a reminder for myself and to that person out there experiencing eerie times that we all go through periods like this and that it does get better.

Etherdene’s “Forsaker” Captures the Power of Letting Go

Etherdene’s ‘Forsaker’ is a revelation in both sound and sentiment. The track marks a new chapter in her career, blending the vulnerability of heartbreak with the resilience of moving on, all wrapped in an electrifying package of synth-pop and indie-pop. The result is a song that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, a cathartic journey that encourages listeners to let go and rise above their challenges.
At the heart of ‘Forsaker’ is Etherdene’s exploration of emotional struggle and the painful yet liberating act of letting go. Drawing from her own experiences with the end of a professional partnership, Etherdene’s lyrics are a raw and powerful expression of inner conflict. The line, “Brand new member in the club of quitters, the uniform compliments my eyes,” encapsulates the complex emotions of giving up, flipping the narrative on its head to reveal the strength in choosing to walk away.
‘Forsaker’ is a triumph. Etherdene’s decision to incorporate synth bass arps brings an air of 80s nostalgia while keeping the track fresh and forward-thinking. The electric guitar work from Cory Clark adds a layer of dynamism to the song, complementing its mood perfectly. However, it’s the drums – played by Warren van Wyk – that truly elevate the track, infusing it with energy and warmth that feels almost magical.
What sets ‘Forsaker’ apart is its empowering message. Etherdene isn’t merely recounting a painful experience; she’s showing us the strength that comes from letting go of something that no longer serves you. It’s a message of courage and self-love, encouraging listeners to prioritize their emotional well-being over the fear of walking away from something that seems promising but ultimately isn’t right.
‘Forsaker’ is yet another example of Etherdene’s impressive versatility as an artist. From her early days in the Afrikaans band Kaktus to her current solo career, she has continually pushed the boundaries of what indie-pop can be. With ‘Forsaker’, she’s taken an emotional experience and turned it into a musical triumph that’s as empowering as it is catchy. This track is bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever had to make the difficult decision to walk away – and Etherdene’s ability to capture that moment in song is nothing short of remarkable.
