Fresh off her Best Rap Album win at the GRAMMYs for Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doechii is giving fans a nostalgic yet refreshed take on one of her earliest songs. Today, she officially released a new version of “Anxiety”, a track originally recorded in her bedroom for her 2019 mixtape, Coven Music Sessions. Until now, the song had never made its way to DSPs, but after overwhelming demand from fans, Doechii decided to re-record her vocals and bring it back to life.
The anticipation for “Anxiety” was undeniable. When Doechii teased its release last week, the reaction was massive—over 80,000 TikTok creates in just 24 hours and a staggering 2.7 million views in a little over a week. Thousands of fans flooded the comments, relating to the song’s raw themes and emotional depth.
Alongside “Anxiety,” Doechii also released “Denial is a River,” a standout track from Alligator Bites Never Heal. Moreover, fans are definitely staying tuned to what she’s bringing to the table.
Doechii is showing up and showing out
The rapper/singer supported the album with her sold-out international tour, bringing Alligator Bites Never Heal to audiences across the U.S., Europe, and the UK. She closed out 2024 with unforgettable performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR Music. At a special GRAMMY Museum event, Killer Mike introduced Doechii as “an artist who is the present, the future, and who’s going to change music forever.”
Moreover, what makes Doechii so unique is her ability to blend vulnerability with confidence. “Anxiety” is reflection of her artistic growth, from bedroom recordings to Grammy-winning success. Thus, her ability to connect deeply with her audience while pushing creative boundaries solidifies her as a trailblazer in modern rap and R&B.
With “Anxiety” now available to stream and more on the horizon, Doechii continues to prove why she’s one of the most exciting voices in hip-hop today.
