ARI<\/strong>&nbsp;is set to release her new EP&nbsp;<em>Anja<\/em>&nbsp;on July 23rd. When it comes to her life and her music&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI<\/strong>&nbsp;has a simple, but profound motto: &#8220;Pain Into Power\u201d which means &#8220;turning your weaknesses into your biggest strengths, thereby making your burdens your blessings.\u201d&nbsp; Throughout her career&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI<\/strong>&nbsp;has always made it a point to show her powerful story of living and thriving with several mental health challenges (ADHD, Bipolar 1, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, OCD, PTSD episodes, Anxiety, and Depression); with the hope of&nbsp; helping others know they are not the only ones out there and show that they can also have a fulfilling&nbsp; life despite diagnoses. This forthcoming EP is dedicated to&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;first ever girlfriend&nbsp;<em>Anja<\/em>&nbsp;much like her past music focusing on her personal life experiences, this time focusing on her new found sexuality and relationship as she has on already released tracks&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/goodforme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cGood For Me\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8LGVhc4rqHI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cShe Knows\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;from the EP.&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;goal is to make a global impact as not only an artist, but as an advocate, and public speaker to spread her message of love, light, and self-care resources to help heal the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about her upcoming release&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI<\/strong>&nbsp;said, \u201c&nbsp;My fifth EP&nbsp;<em>Anja<\/em>&nbsp;is dedicated to my first ever girlfriend. Our love has been life changing and healing for me. After a lifetime of dating men I am so grateful&nbsp;for listening&nbsp;to my spirit guides and allowing myself to be open to a partnership with a woman. Anja and I met in November, 2020 and I was so inspired&nbsp;by our connection that songs just poured out of me like a running tap. It&#8217;s been so exciting to write love songs from an authentic&nbsp;place of deep love and inner transformation. I always&nbsp;felt at home in the LGBTQ+ community and it&#8217;s no wonder&nbsp;I felt that way because I have always been fluid but I didn&#8217;t know it truly until I met Anja. This 4 song EP is all for my dear Anja and &#8220;She Knows It&#8221; &#8211; We &#8220;started as strangers, now you&#8217;re my saviour&#8221; and I know without a doubt you&#8217;re what&#8217;s &#8220;Good for Me&#8221;. Anja you&#8217;re my &#8220;All in One&#8221;. I love you. Thank you for being my muse, biggest supporter, and the most considerate partner I could ever dream of.&nbsp;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of her forthcoming EP&nbsp;<strong>X. ARI<\/strong>&nbsp;has a lot planned for 2021 with upcoming concerts scheduled as the world begins to open back up. The first concert&nbsp;<strong>X.
