There’s a certain magic in music that feels like it’s speaking for you, not at you—especially when it comes from a woman who’s walked through shadows and found her own light. Fiora Anicca’s new single, “I Died Once,” released November 25, 2025, is exactly that kind of musical moment. Deeply vulnerable yet fiercely strong, it’s the kind of track you want on repeat when you’re patching yourself back together.
Fiora creates what she calls Mystic Pop—a sound that’s as dreamy and ethereal as it is grounded in real emotion. Think of the haunting honesty of Björk, the poetic force of Florence + The Machine, or the brave softness of Kate Bush. “I Died Once” isn’t just a song; it’s a declaration: yes, there is pain, but there is also power in rising from it.
What makes this release hit so differently is Fiora’s unwavering authenticity. Born in Poland and now based in Leeds, her journey is one so many women will recognize. Surviving emotional and physical abuse as a child, struggling with addiction and identity as an adult—Fiora has been to the edge and back. Traditional therapy didn’t have the answers, so she found them herself through subconscious healing, somatic work, and spiritual journeys led by her own intuition and examples like Dr. Joe Dispenza.
With “I Died Once,” Fiora invites us to honour the messy rebuild after life’s storms. Her vocals move seamlessly from delicate whispers to bold, soaring choruses, guiding listeners through heartbreak and into hope. There’s something almost sacred in how she lets the cracks show, reminding us that strength can look soft, and softness can be unstoppable.
Critics are giving her their stamp of approval: “Remarkable artist and music!” raves Chapel FM’s Darren Northfield. “Haunting and mesmerizing,” agrees Jorvik Radio. And in a world quick to box female artists into neat little genres, Radio Lublin sums it up: “Maybe that’s why we love it—it can’t be pigeonholed.”
But Fiora’s mission extends beyond music. As a certified MAP trauma coach and founder of Anicca Healing, she uses her expertise to help women rewrite their stories and reclaim their wholeness. “I truly felt like I died once—emotionally, spiritually. But I came back,” she shares, proving it’s possible not just to survive, but to thrive.
For every woman who’s ever felt broken, overlooked, or in need of a rebirth, “I Died Once” is more than a song—it’s an anthem. Pour your heart into it, and it will echo back your resilience.
Fiora Anicca reminds us: our scars don’t define us. Our comebacks do.
