Raw as exposed nerves after a car crash, and as tender as the final kiss goodbye, ANITYA is the first solo album from Tom Scott, one of the most acclaimed New Zealand artists of his generation, hip-hop or otherwise. Recorded with a cast of 30 of the most versatile musicians, beatmakers and vocalists in his contact list and the award-winning studio engineer and producer Ben Lawson, it represents a significant creative breakthrough for one of Avondale’s finest.
“...A genuinely moving first taste of a forthcoming, autobiographical album”
Graham Reid, NZ Listener
…”'till then' finds Scott boldly developing his limitless artistry while his revered lyricism and vulnerable, deeply personal storytelling remains at the core."
Laura McInnes, Sniffers
“...think Frank Ocean and Fiona Apple doing a Tiny Desk concert together...It was as close to a pure expression of pain as an artist can make."
Chris Schulz, Boiler Room
Over his storied career, Scott has released nine albums (three of which debuted at number one on the New Zealand Top 40 album chart) and built a loyal live following throughout Aotearoa, Australia, and as far afield as Europe and the United Kingdom. In recognition of his considerable talents and cultural impact, he’s been awarded Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Best Hip Hop Album at the Aotearoa Music Awards, as well as the coveted Taite Music Prize (2019) and multiple APRA Silver Scroll Award nominations.
