Anirban Jee has released Will Above My Wish, the follow up to his two recent hits, Move Out and Mayday. Anirban Jee is no stranger to chart success—a previous release Deep Down featuring X-Factor artist Mary Ann Van Der Horst, attained the number one position under the International Category at the 2017 Australian Songwriting Awards, with several of his tracks also securing Top 10 placements in multiple categories at the awards. The success of these tracks sits alongside Anirban’s numerous awards and achievements collected recently, including Winner of the International Category at the 38th Australian Songwriting Contest 2018, Winner of the Ballad Category at the 38th Australian Songwriting Contest 2018, Winner of Contemporary POP Category at the 35th Australian Songwriting Contest 2017 and many, many more. The multi-faceted musician is also a busy collaborator, working alongside many sought after music producers such as Simon Cohen ( will.i.am, Guy Sebastian, Vera Blue, Thelma Plum), Adrian Hannan (Delta Goodrem, Gabriella Cilmi, Taxi Ride, The Androids), Sven Tydeman (Josh Pyke, Tina Cousins, Candice Alley), Tony Cvetkovski, David Gugliotta, and Daniel Diaz. Will Above My Wish is a smooth contemporary urban R&B and pop blend, merging this fused musical palette with a reflective lyric. As Anirban says about the story behind the new release, ‘Will Above My Wish is about realizing that sometimes our dreams or wishes will remain unfulfilled despite our ardent efforts. But eventually through life’s humbling experiences, we realize that those desires wouldn’t have yielded the best outcome for us. This makes us ponder whether there is some Will above my Wish that paves the possibility for something much better.’ Will Above My Wish is measured yet has subtle hooks, a genre hybrid that’s not quite all-out pop and not quite all-out R&B. However, the central focus is its theme, a reiteration of the ‘truth will out’, the idea that no matter what one does, the truth will always eventually surface. Will Above My Wish is written by Anirban and recorded, produced, and mastered by Sydney’s multi-platinum producer Steve Peach (Icehouse, Marcia Hines, Stafford Brothers, The Voice Contestants, Jenny Morris, Choirboys) from Stereo Missile Recordings, Sydney.
