Songstress Ann Nesby Returns to the Spotlight with New Album “ANNiversary”
Two-time GRAMMY® Award winner Ann Nesby is back with ANNiversary—her first studio album in over a decade. Featuring the hit singles “My Man” and “Ain’t Gotta Worry,” the album marks a triumphant return to form, blending modern soul with timeless R&B storytelling.
The album’s first single, “My Man,” a stirring ode to loyalty and devotion written by RL (of Next) and produced by Brian “B-Flat” Cook, has already resonated with audiences nationwide—surpassing 2.6 million airplay impressions and reminding the industry why Nesby remains one of the most revered vocalists in contemporary music. Its follow-up, “Ain’t Gotta Worry,” flips the narrative in R&B by uplifting men who show up with love and intention, offering a fresh, affirming anthem in her signature soulful style.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Nesby first rose to prominence as the powerhouse lead singer of the GRAMMY® Award-winning ensemble Sounds of Blackness, giving voice to songs that became anthems for a generation. Her transition to a solo career brought six additional GRAMMY® nominations and a catalog that bridges gospel, R&B, soul, and musical theatre with grace and depth.
As a songwriter, Nesby has penned songs for icons including Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight, while her frequent collaborations with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and other hitmakers have cemented her reputation as a multi-genre force. On stage and screen, her acting work has brought soulful gravitas to roles in Queen Sugar (OWN), Atlanta (FX), The Ms. Pat Show (BET), and the national tour of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.
In 2025, Nesby also takes center stage behind the camera as Executive Producer and Narrator of CIRILO, A Legacy Untold—a powerful, Oscar-qualifying documentary short film currently on the international film festival circuit. The film not only features her voice but also includes Nesby on its soundtrack, reinforcing her ability to tell impactful stories across mediums.
Beyond entertainment, Nesby embodies leadership, service, and sisterhood as an honorary member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, and continues to be a cultural touchstone for excellence, empowerment, and evolution.
With ANNiversary, Ann Nesby proves that classic soul doesn’t age—it only deepens. Her voice remains a beacon of emotional truth, affirming that real R&B isn’t just alive—it’s elevated.
