Rapture in its definition means a feeling of intense pleasure or joy. For the “Midnight Rapture” video, Nikko Lamere—who has created memorable imagery for the likes of Noah Cyrus, Kehlani, Marina and Tiffany Young among others—creates a flashy glam world of fantasy around a late-night rendezvous with Anabel, capturing a never-been-seen-before performance from one of dance music’s hottest artists right now as she steps out from behind the decks to sing and dance.Meanwhile, Anabel is no stranger to chart-busting song making. Her debut album Messing With Magic and it’s Deluxxe edition garnered her four #1 dance music radio singles (“Waiting For You” with Yotto, “Underwater” with MK, “Picture Us,” “So Hot [MK & Nightlapse Remix]) within the last year. “Midnight Rapture” is next in line as it makes its debut this week as the most added track at #15 at U.S. dance music radio.
About Anabel Englund:
Singer, songwriter & DJ Anabel Englund’s sound is entrancing in its dichotomy; bright and carefree with her authentic Southern California breeziness. Other times she is irresistibly alluring with her dark, smoldering touch. The 2020 iHeart Music “Dance Artist Of The Year” nominee explores the dynamics of that captivating contrast with her debut album Messing with Magic. The Los Angeles-based artist spent late 2019 and all of 2020 putting out singles from Messing With Magic leading into its formal release in December on MK’s AREA10 label with Ultra Records, with the Messing With Magic Deluxxe album following in 2021. Beyond four #1 US Dance Airplay singles “Waiting For You” with Yotto, “Underwater” with MK, “So Hot (MK & Nightlapse Remix)” and “Picture Us” (marking her as the first female to score four #1’s in two years), the album highlights a variety of dance floor friendly tracks and heartfelt compositions including singles like “Boogie All Night” with Dombresky, “Warm Disco” with Lee Foss and “See the Sky.”

She is also recognized for her eccentric, bold style and has performed at major cultural events like Paris, London and Milan Fashion Weeks. In 2012, Englund stepped into the house scene, bringing her unique sultry, slow-burn voice to Pleasure State’s “Electricity” (her group project with Lee Foss and MK). She further cemented her arrival by following with “Reverse Skydiving” with Lee Foss and Jamie Jones’ collaborative project Hot Natured the following year. She has released music on Hot Creation, Defected and Desert Hearts. There are a select few voices of house music that have paved their own pathway to legendary.
