As 2024 draws to a close, 95ANTNY is set to release his first project: “LIMINAL SPACES”. A Liminal Space is described as “an in-between place or threshold we pass through from one area to another”; in other words, a type of limbo.
When speaking about the making of the project, 95ANTNY said: “I knew I was going to work on something around this theme because it resonated with me a lot. It just happened that one day while going through a bunch of songs I’d made over time and grouping them according to vibe and mood, I realised I already had the songs for this theme. It’s been there all this while and this is why I believe sometimes an understanding of self happens when you’re revisiting things you’ve accumulated over a period of time.”
Throughout the year, 95 has teased the theme of this project with releases “CURIOUS CAESAR” AND “iDENTIFY”; with the former allowing him to explore the desire for personal growth and commenting on the latter: “…[the beat for iDENTIFY] helped as a guide to what direction I could explore more for Liminal Spaces, sonically.”
“LIMINAL SPACES” is the soundtrack to 95ANTNY’s own journey to confront the limbo he once found himself in. It sees collaborations with Kwabena Dennis, Selassie and production from Dan Akins, YOKOTHEMOON, Nebyou Alias and ATN Soul.
95 is finally sharing a fuller version of himself with 4 additional recordings which complete the project; including new single “UNDER THE SUN” seeing a collaboration with ATN Soul.
The project’s release will be accompanied by a pre-release listening party at Vibrate Studios in Accra and a roll out of visuals over a 2 week period. The project is set to be announced on Sunday 24th November.
2025 will also see more music from 95ANTNY as he continues to evolve in his artistry.
A Note from 95ANTNY:
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to express myself through this music. This project, since I started putting it together, has been a soundtrack to a crucial part of my journey as a person and growth over the past two years. It started out as a project to explore a theme but over time, has opened me up and like a fresh wound has taught me crucial and valuable lessons: that no matter the phases and periods of confusion and in times when your only wish is to give up and leave your body, there is that little voice that says it gets better. Learning that in the in-between spaces remember not to panic, trust the process and surrender to the currents as it will lead you to new beginnings. I’ve learnt that it’s fine to scream it out of your system to find ease in your body; knowing that the process is a period of learning, improvement, creation, collaboration and having an understanding of what matters. I’ve learnt not to be scared to look inward, to be honest with myself and accept my wrongs and the consequences however hard they come. Learning that my mistakes don’t define me and that I should extend grace to myself and do so for others. Learning to not be so hard on myself, that when I feel the rush of negative emotions, I should understand that there’s so much life in here that I can make into great things. I’ve learnt that the doubts and fears are not real, and to allow myself to accept love and not take it for granted, because love has the power to change you. This project is a reminder for myself and to that person out there experiencing eerie times that we all go through periods like this and that it does get better.
