Torniamo a parlare del giovane producer inglese Mura Masa, il quale ha finalmente annunciato titolo, data d’uscita e artwork del suo debutto.
Il disco uscirà il prossimo 14 luglio ed è ricco di collaborazioni importanti: Damon Albarn, Charli XCX – naturalmente per 1 Night, in cui compare anche A$AP Rocky – Christine and the Queens, NAO, Desiigner, Jamie Lidell e altri ancora.
Di seguito vi lasciamo l’artwork ufficiale e un pezzo dell’intervista con Zane Lowe per quanto riguarda la collaborazione con Damon Albarn:
Damon Albarn. That was the big one for me. We originally met about the Gorillaz record because he does a lot of collaborations and works with a lot of people. We met up to chat about music, he showed me his drum machine from 1920. He’s got this mad studio. He also has a Bee Gees brand drum machine from the 1970s. I sent him a few ideas for the album and he heard this one, this song’s called ‘Blue’ originally about my girlfriend and loving her and her not being able to understand how that makes me feel and that weird degree of separation that happens when you love someone else but they really don’t know how much you love them and he turned it into this duet where he’s singing the chorus and I’m singing the chorus and then he does the verses. What’s trippy to me is it’s Damon Albarn singing my words to my girlfriend. So I’ve gotten 2D to sing a love song to my girlfriend. And I was like isn’t this the best present you could ever give someone? I think it might be my favorite on the album. It closes out the album, a bit of a slow jam.
