Fresh off the release of her latest body of work, Anica Kiana joins Carl Wastie to talk about her brand-new EP, not the same. A fearless blend of nostalgia, bold femininity, and raw emotion, the project cements Anica’s place as one of the most exciting voices in South Africa’s pop scene.

“not the same. is a collection of songs that explore my journey through adulthood and the realisation that time has changed everything, and we can’t go back to the way it was when we were younger,” says Anica. With tracks like Not The Same, Any Other Way, and Dreamin’, the EP channels a bold pop-punk 2000s feel while weaving in themes of love, heartbreak, empowerment, and loss.
