About the Artist
I was recently put onto The Anahit by one of the biggest music enthusiasts I know, Viki Vanko, an active and motivational subscriber to the CAN! and FMOF platforms. Here is what she said:
“I don’t think I’ve shared Rita with you yet? She’s Hungarian. I went to see them in February. (They’re) as amazing live as recorded!”
I love being referred artists to listen to. If somebody tells me to “check out this band,” or “check out that song,” I listen. I listen. I can’t be for certain, but I think a lot of people sometimes say they will but don’t. I can’t imagine how disappointing it would be to miss out on such illuminating things. Sure, people have things going on and they want to be polite. Sometimes though, we have to be Jim Carey in the movie, “Yes Man.”
But I digress.
Suggestion comes in, I immediately go press play. The Anahit are musicians Rita Csanyi and Daniel Kocsis. They began releasing music in 2018 with their A/B Side single, In the Dark, which features the title track and the second song, Clouds of Smoke. The first impression I got is the band was into fusion. Their first two songs seemed to pull influences from different genres of music.
In 2019, The Anahit released their debut album, Addicted. This 8-song LP, running at 23 minutes, is an eye-opening exposure to the pure vocal talent Csanyi possesses. Right from the start, Desolation is a showcase of layered vocals after layered vocals, as the a cappella track provided diversity, range, and imagination. In some moments, I hear Florence + The Machine and then in other moments, I hear Eurythmics.
In 2020, The Anahit released two sequential EP’s; Let Me Inject You With My Sins and Let Me Inject You With My Sins, Pt. 2. The two projects tied together a number of singles released that year, and blended genres like R&B, Pop, Hip Hop, alt rock, and even indie folk. From songs like When I’m… Psycho to Amphetamine, they gave their listeners a variety of soundscapes to listen to.
After subsequent releases, singles, and such, 2023 would see The Anahit release their follow up to Addicted, with their second LP, #VÁLSÁGPOP. At a 23 minute run time, it features 10 songs including previously released singles Bills – OH NO and Birom Még. Leaning harder into a more electric, synth pop, and progressive sound, I really love the wide range of quality that is presented in the production of this album. Additionally, though I am only fluent in one language, I love how the album features more than one language broadening its reach to being able to relate to its audience. Personally, I was really impressed with the song Nekem Ez Jár. I loved the intro synth that peeks in and out of the song as it progresses. Then, we get two looks at different styles of guitar playing with what sounds like nylon strings followed by a distorted rhythm/lead part as the song builds.
The Anahit are so versatile with the styles of music they present. There is so much influence in their styles. They infuse industrial and organic, natural sounds. There is sometimes hip-hop sounding music, then it can almost feel ritualistic. These dynamics not only present within the same projects but sometimes within the same songs. It hits so hard!
About the Song
You, on repeat is fifth single release by Hungarian Indie artist, The Anahit in 2025. It runs at nearly three and a half minutes and was written, performed, and recorded by The Anahit.
About the Music
You, on repeat opens immediately with vocals provided by Csanyi, accompanied by synths and and percussion played by a timpani. It could be classified as a ballad but gives this vibe of anticipation at the start.
As you, on repeat progresses, it adds different components of ornamentation to the song. The percussion gets more complex. There are added synths, a string arrangement, and backing vocals that add to the energy of this song.
Lyrically, The Anahit sings from the perspective of a narrator who has given complete control to a lover. “I let go of all my expectations. I let you feel what you wanna feel. I let you be warm or cold to me. I let you take me home and leave.”
The song is performed with such conviction and is emotionally striking. Instrumentally, it takes a minimal approach to pave way to the lyrical and melodic vocal performance. You, on repeat is a stunning and breathtaking piece of music so layered, it feels silly to simply define it to a genre. It encompasses powerful reflection of emotions stemming from a significant moment.
Final Thoughts
This incredible duo of musicians are doing all of the right things. They have a significant social media presence, they have consistent streaming on music platforms across the board. They are making and producing very powerful music and are supporting it with high quality content. Their YouTube profile has more than 10,000 subscribers and their content has been viewed well over a million times.
Along with the other 4 singles released in 2025, you, on repeat showcases experimentation with a variety of genres. Like in spring interlude, there are moments of classical influence, R&B, and indie folk. The lyrical composition is deeply vulnerable and offers insight to real reactionary moments. It is refreshing and relatable.
The Anahit have a lot of momentum and seem to be focused on keeping it. Boasting strong live performances to accompany their unique songwriting and production, they are definitely a band to see if one happened to be in an area where they are performing.
