Los Angeles-born alt-pop artist Ana Sky continues to carve her path in the music scene with the release of her deeply personal sophomore single, “Sleeping Without You,” out today. A cinematic ballad layered with lush piano and sweeping strings, the track offers a raw exploration of solitude, healing, and self-discovery in the aftermath of a turbulent relationship.
Sky’s evocative vocals are at the forefront of the track, which expertly blends pop accessibility with alternative depth. Her breathy, intimate verses crescendo into a powerful chorus, showcasing her expansive vocal range. With poignant lyrics like, “I’m wrapped up in this feeling / You lost me forever / But I love me better / Better than you ever did,” Sky delivers a cathartic anthem of self-love and liberation.
“‘Sleeping Without You’ is one of the most vulnerable songs I’ve written,” Sky shared. “It captures the range of emotions I felt coming out of a difficult relationship and realizing that amidst the pain, I found space for a new beginning. It’s about reclaiming peace and freedom.”
This single marks an exciting continuation of Sky’s budding career, which has already seen her recognized for her powerful storytelling and heartfelt songwriting. Her debut single, “Loving You Is Hard,” produced by AC Burrell, garnered praise from outlets like Wonderland and The Untitled Magazine, establishing Sky as a promising voice in the alt-pop genre.
Beyond her music, Sky is balancing her rising career with a scientific education, all while making waves in the fashion world. She recently attended New York Fashion Week, where she was honored with the Emerging Artist Award at the Fashion Media Awards.
With “Sleeping Without You,” Sky’s star continues to rise. As she prepares for the release of her upcoming EP and a performance stint opening for indie pop act Transviolet, Ana Sky is undoubtedly an artist to watch in the coming months.
