In an era where music feels increasingly formulaic, Cuban-American artist Anie Delgado stands out, not just because of her ethereal sound, but because of her ability to tell stories that hit close to home. With roots in Miami’s vibrant Cuban community and a love for songwriting that began as early as fourth grade, Anie has always had a knack for blending personal experiences with universal themes. Her newest single, “Stranger from the Internet,” set to drop on October 25th, is no exception.
Inspired by her own story of finding love in an unexpected place — online, in this case — “Stranger from the Internet” takes us on a dreamy, nostalgic journey. It’s a love song for the modern age, wrapped in soft, ethereal melodies that celebrate not just the highs of new love, but the beautiful simplicity of its beginnings.
“I woke up one day next to someone who used to be a stranger,” Anie recalls. That stranger is now her husband, and their story — from humble beginnings with roommates, a mattress on the floor, and moments of celebration with sushi and cheap champagne — became the inspiration for this ballad. The song is a reminder that love doesn’t always arrive in the ways we expect it to, but it can turn everyday moments into something extraordinary.
With its lush production and heartfelt lyrics, “Stranger from the Internet” captures the feeling of romanticizing those early, often overlooked, stages of a relationship. It’s the kind of track that makes you think about your own love story — whether it’s still unfolding or already written in the stars.
A Unique Musical Voice
Anie’s journey to this point has been shaped by a rich blend of influences. From the traditional Cuban music of her childhood in Miami to the surf town vibes of Melbourne, Florida, and then the creative bustle of New York City and Los Angeles, she’s lived in three distinct cultural worlds by the time she turned 25. These experiences seep into her music, giving it a worldly, wise feel that makes her stand out in today’s pop landscape.
Her music isn’t just about catchy hooks or pop trends. Anie’s curiosity leads her to explore a variety of sonic influences, blending them into her own signature sound. And while her songs often carry a bittersweet undertone, they’re always grounded in honesty, offering listeners an authentic peek into her world.
Anie’s earlier releases, like “Dancing While the World is on Fire,” showcased not only her skill as a songwriter but also her commitment to important causes. That track, which Billboard praised for its poignant messaging, was used to raise awareness about climate change — and even saw Anie donating a portion of the profits to Zero Hour, a youth-led environmental movement. Now, with “Stranger from the Internet,” she’s offering a different kind of story, one that is deeply personal yet still relatable to anyone who’s ever fallen in love.
