BUZZING PHENOMENON ANELLA DROPS NEW SINGLE & VIDEO FOR “CRASHING THIS PARTY”
FIRST SOLO HEADLINE TOUR THE CRASHING THE PARTY TOUR KICKS OFF THIS FALL
Def Jam Recordings
Gaining traction as an artist to watch this year, rising singer-songwriter Anella (formerly known as Anella Herim) shares a new single and music video entitled “Crashing This Party” out now via Def Jam Recordings.
The track layers softly strummed acoustic guitar atop a steady and solid beat. The sparse production draws a spotlight to Anella’s emotionally charged delivery. He can barely hold back his ire towards an ex, letting his feelings flow over the song’s slick production. It comes to a head on the anthemic hook where he playfully warns, “I got one more drink until I’m crashing this party.” Ultimately, he transforms all of this pain into a raw and relatable anthem driven by his songcraft and storytelling. The accompanying visual effectively translates this story to the screen!
He’s about to bring “Crashing This Party” on the road as he launches The Crashing This Party Tour set to roll across North America this fall. This headline jaunt kicks off on September 16 in San Diego, CA at House of Blues, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes October 26 in Austin, TX at 3Ten. Of course, it follows his recent run on tour with Lil Wayne. Check out the full tour routing below. Purchase tickets HERE.
Meanwhile, his recent body of work 831: The Series has reacted with audiences. Among many highlights, the fan favorite “Lock N Key” has gathered more than 10 million Spotify streams alone. He also ignited an On The Radar performance of the song, receiving reactions from the likes of Adin Ross, Duke Dennis, and Jaielijah, among others.
Continuing to stir up buzz, Monster Energy also just named Anella an official ambassador.
In 2024, the standout single “Don’t HMU,” from Season 3: I Made You cracked the Top 10 on the Spotify US Viral 50 Chart. He also turned up with a stunning From The Block performance, generating nearly half a million YouTube views and counting. Upon arrival, EARMILK proclaimed, “With an adaptable sound and cult following, he is an integral part of the next generation of music.”

ABOUT ANELLA:
Anella wants to be the artist for everyone, no matter their taste. The 23-year-old singer songwriter defies genre, blending his influences of pop, hip hop, R&B, country, punk, adult contemporary, and other musical stylings into an amalgamation of inspired sonic flurries. Conceptualizing his different eras as seasons of a tv show, Anella uses the comfortability of media and nostalgia to tap into the specific moments of his life that made him, connecting with a wide audience through his inspired songwriting, experimental arrangements, and ability to evoke relatable emotions that everyone can identify with. This versatility has led to hits such as the 808-filled, rap focused “Don’t HMU,” (17.5M) the downhome country tune “Lock N Key,”(16.5M TK Streams) and his breakout Americana pop, honky tonk declaration about being young and free “Tennessee Love Song,” (15.4M TK Streams).
Anella’s catalog includes a wide range of vastly different vibes, showcasing his continued progression and desire to never have any of his songs sound the same which is reflected in his latest project “831: The Series”. This made him a perfect artist to help break the previously rap-focused platform On The Radar, into the country scene. His performance of “Lock N Key” notched over 1.6M views and won the hearts of reaction streamers and TikTokers used to rap music. Further praise for his From The Block performance (365K+ Views), and publications such as Country Swag, and Wide Open Country, the latter calling him a “genreless wonder.” As a gifted story teller, singer/ songwriter and multi-instrument musician Anella aims to tap into the human condition, crafting music that has something for any type of fan.
