Following “Memory Leaves,” a star-studded collaboration with Masego, nu-jazz genius Anomalie returns with his stimulating new single “Hummingbird.” A reflection of his own musical inspiration, “Hummingbird” channels the sounds of the late J Dilla with a Hiatus Kaiyote-esque edge.
Beaming with elegant piano riffs and tricky sound-design, “Hummingbird” is an enigmatic instrumental composition only Anomalie can hack. Cinematic violins surge and billow under tangled breakbeats as subtle electronic undertones blossom in its peripheral. Despite its intricate complexion, “Hummingbird” tends to the average listener’s needs. A joyful jazz cut with an infectious magnetism, Anomalie’s latest is an instant classic.
