10 JANUARY 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Today, DJ, producer, and multidisciplinary artist, Anyma, releases his brand-new single entitled “Hypnotized” featuring global superstar, Ellie Goulding via Interscope Records/Universal Music Canada. The ethereal track explores the internal struggle of resisting feelings for someone, only to have those emotions grow stronger with every attempt to push them away. With a powerful bassline at its core, the track is filled with lush, evolving synths that seamlessly intertwine with progressive melodic layers.

Coupled with Ellie’s captivating vocals, “Hypnotized” transports listeners into an immersive soundscape and crafting a poignant emotional experience.” Accompanying the single is the official music video, which is the same entrancing visual that Anyma has been playing live during his current residency at Sphere in Las Vegas.
