MUMBAI: Singer Ananya Birla, who will release her debut EP Fingerprint on Friday, says with time she has realized that life is not all about competition but about enjoying one's journey.

The EP, which has a blend of pop, electro and R&B showcasing the singer's versatility is being released via Universal Music Group and Island Records UK. It includes Blackout, featuring Nigeria's leading music stars Vector and WurlD, as well as All Night Long, Disappear and Love Suicide.

For Ananya, 24, these are a deeply personal collection of songs.

"This EP is really authentic to me and my own experiences. It's mostly about love - the good and the bad. I wanted to cover the holistic journey, from falling in love to heartbreak to reconciliation.

"It took me a while to realize that life isn't all about competing to a finish line - something which I've often struggled to do. It's about enjoying every step of the journey," she said in a statement.

Ananya's first single came out in 2016.

On her journey, Universal Music Group and EMI Music, India and South Asia Managing Director and CEO Devraj Sanyal, said, "After a solid build-up period and seven singles later we finally think we are ready for her to take on the world."
