Anya Parker-Lentz
The Giving
Review by Gary Hill
This awesome disc combines modern sounds with retro elements. It’s a real testament to the strength of the set that the weakest music here is stronger than the best stuff on a lot of discs. It’s even more impressive when you consider that Anya Parker-Lentz is 16 years old and still in high school. This young lady is very talented and should have a great career ahead of her. That’s good for her, but also good for music fans because we can probably expect a lot of great music in the future from Parker-Lentz. If there’s a complaint to be made about this, it’s that it’s too short. As good as this is, it would be great to hear more. I guess that means patience is required to wait for her next release.
