A new hitmaker on the British music scene, Mura Masa has certainly proven his capacity to have his finger on the pulse of what’s in style in recent years. His 2017 eponymous album was filled with top-tier collaborations, such as Charli XCX, Christine And The Queens, Damon Albarn, Jamie Lidell and A$AP Rocky (on the hit Love$ick). Capable of going from dark hip-hop beats with Jay Prince to futuristic R&B (à la Kaytranada) featuring Nao, the Guernsey native recentred himself on this third LP, with a less prestigious lineup but a better rounded and successful concept. Mura Masa, real name Alex Crossan, stated that the album “wasn't so much centred around a musical idea or a sonic idea. It was more centred around the theme of exploring the memories that make up our childhood, and why we depend on them. I picked the features according to that.”
The tone is still somewhat electric folk/rock, with the guitar in pole position: acoustic in some intimate confessional moments, like Today with Tirzah, or electric when invoking images of a group of young lads, like on the catchy No Hope Generation, a rock beat which is ‘junglified’ by the end. Youngsters will surely be attracted to the electro-pop hymn and single I Don’t Think I Can Do This Again featuring lo-fi pop singer Clairo (the artist behind Internet hit Pretty Girl), but the best track on the album is Deal Wiv It, a piece of pure Britannia which reminds you of The Streets, featuring the new British rap star slowthai, who unapologetically and deliciously bellows over the crazy guitars. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
