WEEKEND MUSIC PT. 57: MANSUR BROWN‘S „FADED“
Mansur Brown just released his new song ‘Faded’, the second single from his upcoming album ‘Rihla’. Influenced by jungle and drum & bass he is showcasing his signature melodic guitar work and infectious chopped vocals, ‘Faded’ offers another glimpse into Mansur’s evolving sound.
Entirely written, performed and produced by himself, ‘Rihla’ is, in his words,
“a diary of my life up until now… a reflection on life’s beauty and struggle, humanity in all its detail.”
Fusing intricate, flamenco-influenced guitar with original production, his genre-blurring music draws on an eclectic range of inspirations. From Fontaines DC and Deftones to early ‘00s Timbaland, Afrobeats and Burial.
As a classically trained guitarist Mansur has collaborated with Joy Orbison, Yussef Dayes, Little Simz and Alfa Mist, earning a loyal following through acclaimed projects. Known for his virtuosic yet emotive style Mansur continues to push musical boundaries, creating sounds that feel, in his words, “rejuvenating, full of happiness and gratitude.”
