After months of extensively writing new music including a forthcoming debut album, Anno Kalu emerges no holds barred with a 2 tracks belter EP.
Bursting with unprecedented energy, the opening title track 'Nakusubiri' (Swahili for "Waiting For You") builds up tension around an irresistible low-pitched vocal loop, dynamic percussion, filtered synth chords, a bumpy bassline, dragged out synth stabs, moody arpeggios and layers of strings, all riding over an impeccable sunset groove. "30 seconds in and the nommer has already enveloped you. Truly a perfect beach festival summer release." - Alex Roman
On the other hand, 'Inception' can be dubbed as an exploration of Anno Kalu's fearless creative spectrum. Serving up a dose of delicately warm and crunchy percussion, seductive stabs, pulsating synth chords, swirling arpeggios, atmospheric strings, nuanced drum layers and an indelible vocal loop, this treffer pulls you in and takes you on an eyes-closed-hands-in-the-air experience close to none.
Overall, this captivating release is a blissful preview of what's kept under the sleeves of this enigmatic artist.
In my effort to make a difference in and contribute positively to my community, I've decided to give all proceeds from this release to charity, hence this is a Bandcamp only release. Thus, when you support this EP, not only are you supporting my music but a deserving number of children who are orphaned and less priviled than others and your alms will be used effectively towards buying them food, clothes, school uniform, books, stationary and other basic essentials.
With your helping hand, this little dream of mine can be realized. We Can Make A Difference! - ANNO KALU
