Fantastic Negrito - Push Back The Shadows

Review by Karen Bartels

Fantastic Negrito's latest album, Push Back The Shadows, is a powerful and dynamic collection of songs that showcase the artist's unique blend of blues, rock, and soul. From the opening track, "Chocolate Samurai," to the haunting ballad "Platypus Dipster," Negrito's raw and emotive vocals are front and center, backed by a tight and energetic band.

The album's themes touch on everything from personal struggles to political commentary, with tracks like "How Long?" and "Your Sex Is Overrated" tackling issues of racism and sexual inequality head-on. The music itself is equally diverse, ranging from the gritty, guitar-driven "The Suit That Won't Come Off" to the funky, horn-laden "These Are My Friends."
