August 30th, 2024 (Atlanta, GA) - Anike’s self-titled debut ushers in a new era for the bridge-building Christian rap artist. Anike's self-titled LP is scheduled for release on August 30th, 2024. It is preceded by her single ‘PRAY FOR ME,’ which released on July 26th, and an instant grat single ‘HAVE FUN’ releasing ahead of the LP.

Stream “Anike” here.

After five years since her debut, Anike, formerly known as Wande, returns with her sophomore self titled LP. Her latest offering is a powerful journey of surrender, restoration, and breakthrough. Over the past four years, she has faced numerous challenges that tested her resolve both personally and as an artist. Confronting deep-seated insecurities and severe physical manifestations of stress and anxiety, Anike has emerged stronger and more inspired. During this transformative period, she announced a name change from “Wande” to “Anike,” a Yoruba name short for Ireoluwa-Anike meaning “The goodness of God, we have something to care for, cherish, and not take for granted.”

The album includes familiar voices such as label-mates Hulvey, Lecrae, WHATUPRG, and Limoblaze, along with fresh collaborators like Terrain, Lee Vasi, and DOE. The album’s focus track “YAHWEH” ft. Porsha Love brings praise and pep over a Jersey beat featuring Porsha Love, a follow up to their successful 8M+ streamed 2021 single “Don’t Worry Bout It.” Anike also released a music video for "YAHWEH" you can watch here, setting the tone for the full album experience.

  1. MAKE ME NEW (ft. Jekalyn Carr)

She has been featured on GRAMMY-nominated projects and Billboard's #1 album "The Mav Way," and her contributions have been recognized by influential figures like Michelle Obama and Kirk Franklin.
