Anya Vincent Drops Powerful New Single ‘Money’

Yesterday, 20-year-old Scottish singer and songwriter Anya Vincent released her eagerly awaited second single, Money, a compelling track that blends socially conscious themes with contemporary R&B and pop sensibilities.

Inspired by the socially aware pop and R&B of the 1990s, with clear nods to artists such as Lauryn Hill and George Michael, Money delivers a beat-driven, thought-provoking exploration of greed and the societal obsession with wealth. Vincent’s vocals are at once commanding and emotive, carrying lyrics that challenge listeners to examine their own values and reflect on the cycles of materialism that pervade modern life.

Originally conceived as a bedroom demo in Vincent’s hometown of Paisley, the song evolved through a collaborative effort with Los Angeles-based producer Jordan Lawlor, whose previous work includes credits with M83, Deftones, Beck, and Oberhofer. Lawlor, who also co-produced Vincent’s debut single Catfight earlier this year, worked remotely alongside the singer, exchanging ideas, stems, and revisions via Zoom, FaceTime, and email. This cross-continental collaboration allowed Vincent’s raw sketches to mature into a polished, dynamic final production.

Vincent elaborated on the creative process: “’Money’ was a track that came together quite quickly. I wanted the vibe to be clear and strong. One of my favourite parts of the recording process is working with audio engineer Kevin Burleigh at Gorbals Sound Studio in Glasgow – he knows I love experimenting with harmonies, and he always gives me the space and advice I need to perfect the sound.” Her meticulous approach to harmonies and vocal layering is evident throughout the track, giving it depth and sophistication beyond her years.

The single further cements Anya Vincent as a rising talent in the music industry, combining sharp lyricism, polished production, and the unmistakable influence of 90s pop music into a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Early reactions from listeners and industry insiders have praised the song’s lyrical intelligence, infectious groove, and Vincent’s captivating vocal performance.
