When it comes to lyricism and the skill to build a story with both words and sounds, US hip hop artist and film-maker Mamadou. is someone to be truly excited about.
Released 2 weeks ago, his new single "Hues." comes not only in a sonic form, but as a film. The track feels very intimate, almost as if he's in the room with me and shares his story, pain, the things that keep him up at night. I love the fusion of r&b and soul into the composition and the flow oozes a feeling of pure honesty. In just a few listens I felt instantly connected and emotionally invested in Mamadou.'s journey.
"This song really captures the essence of my life right now it seems. trying to balance my multiple identities, the fear of breaking traditional taboos, growing into myself as a man. but, there’s a solace to the faith, solace to the natural constants of the world. And it’s therein trying to rebirth myself in. May Allah embrace us in our imperfections. Hope you hold this song close, wherever you are. it’s crazy outside.", shares the 22-years old artist.
