Anto the Wayward has blessed fans with the release of his new 2 pack “Midori”. The 2-pack also serves as a waterfall release for the Washington native’s debut album which he’s been working on.
“Midori” which is the first track on the project sees Anto lay out his frustrations with dating and sex as a form of self-validation on very chill production. His soothing melodies, as well as calm, mellow bars stand out on this track. The self-titled track was inspired by The Wayward’s recent split. I-5, which was first released last year, has a completely different subject matter to its counterpart. I-5 gives listeners a glimpse into Anto’s journey of life and where he is in his career. Anto uses the I-5 highway as a symbol for his journey in life. From reflecting on his past, celebrating how far he has come, as well as continuing to move, the journey is long, but Anto shows excitement for what the future holds.
Despite various subject matter, both tracks on the 2 pack focus on Anto discovering himself and his identity. With Anto the Wayward preparing his debut album, we can’t wait to see what more he has on the way.
