Comment:
this is not the first appearance of Morristown, New Jersey, US-based
artist Anitek at Recent Music Heroes. More profoundly, I have
commented such issues as Sae Yeon,
and Calm & Collect Vol. 1
though the artist has been truly prolific over the years. ShiHo is a
massive delivery of 41 compositions where the artist demonstrates his
ability to create for a listener's soul and body. Despite this
tremendous load of tracks it makes you feel not tired and bored at
all. It is an event on its own because Anitek can adeptly play with
different genres being very close to such genres as jazz, hip-hop,
chill out, and electronica. Electronica in that case does mean both
club dance inflected rhythms and progressions in timbre and effects.
In fact, Anitek showcases and develops and crosses subgenres of the
aforementioned styles in a profound and crafty way. Ultimately it can
be admitted the issue is worthy enough to be added to the rack of the
best albums of 2016.
