Today, singer-songwriter Annahstasia is announcing a new live album, Annahstasia: Live at Glasshaus, set to be released on March 13, 2026.
The new project is made in collaboration with Brooklyn-based record label and film production studio Glasshaus and is produced by Glasshaus founder Jarrett Wetherell.
The project will feature 13 renditions of songs from across Annahstasia’s catalog, including from 2025’s Tether, which earned critical praise. It will also include the unreleased song “Garden.” The tracks were re-arranged for and played by a chamber ensemble at Glasshaus in Brooklyn for an intimate audience of 100 guests.
“Live albums [from] my favorite artists often [have the] versions of songs I love the most,” Annahstasia tells The FADER about why she chose to create the new live project. “[I love] the energy, the imperfections, the rawness that is impossible to achieve in the vacuum sealed walls of fancy studios.”
Hear the first single “Satisfy Me,” and read on for a conversation with Annahstasia about the power of live albums and honoring one's craft in an inhumane music ecosystem.

The FADER: Why did you focus on reimagining already released work rather than diving into a brand new project?
Annahstasia: My mentors taught me the value of a good song and the value of not fearing time. Good writing and good story telling deserve the space to settle and arrive into the lives of listeners, especially in this industry which has strayed so far from centering the humanity of music and the musicians who carry it. I will likely continue to revisit this work throughout my career with new interpretations and arrangements because that is what the craft deserves.
I only put out Tether nine months ago. It was my debut album and it took me three years to make. As well as a decade to develop my artistry to the point of executing that record how I wanted to.
I have also been touring much of the last year but there have only been a few shows where I’ve been able to enlist a full band. So I thought this would be a good way of bringing that live sound to a broader range of listeners in a way that felt intentional and true, rather than rushing forward simply for the sake of something new.
How did you connect with Glasshaus? What inspired you to partner with them on this project?
Jarrett Wetherell reached out to my team introducing the project and explaining his broader mission for Glasshaus. At the time I was thinking about how to make a live album possible and where the funding would come from and it all lined up really well. Jarrett is a music lover through and through. I thought it was cool that his passion for music created this structure by which artists are able to share this specific aspect of their expression.
How did you approach the process of rearranging songs with your large ensemble for this concert recording?
Aaron Liao, my musical director on this project, and one of the co-producers on Tether went through all the live voice memos of the songs I had collected and together we came up with arrangements that honored the evolution of the songs, while also supporting my voice and a bit more freedom for improvisation. I generally try to just provide a framework for the musicians I work with to show up in a collaborative way, with their talent and style at the forefront, as opposed to writing out every single part. Every single show is then very unique and alive.
What are you excited for your fans to experience with this new project?
I am excited for those who get the vinyl to enjoy the unreleased song on there called “Garden.” I won’t be releasing it on DSPs anytime soon and most likely not this specific version. So that’s a fun treat. I am also excited for people to hear the re-worked version of “Take Care of Me”––‘tis very sexy. More than anything, I hope listeners experience these songs as lived in and present. This project is an invitation to slow down and feel the intimacy and care behind each performance.
