With his debut album recently completed and due to be released this summer, a host of major festivals have also been confirmed; beginning with Coachella in April and followed by the likes of Field Day, Parklife, Wild Life, Lowlands and Rock Werchter (many more TBA).
'1 Night' is an instantly-infectious return from Mura Masa, colliding steel drums, marimba and off-kilter electronics into an anthem for friends who've crossed a line (but may yet be able to go back to how things were). Written alongside Charli XCX, '1 Night' brings together two of the most exciting innovators in modern pop, and introduces another surprise-guest for the still-just-20-year-old's keenly anticipated debut album.
It's been a journey of extremes even up until this point. Mura Masa grew up on the everybody-knows-everybody island of Guernsey, where his Mum’s Joni Mitchell records and his Dad’s years spent playing in hard rock bands around Scotland offered a dual influence of classic and experimental songwriting. With the nearest gig hotspot a 5-hour ferry journey away in Southampton, culture tended to be DIY out of necessity. But at the age of 15, Mura Masa discovered that electronic music was “a thing,” before stumbling into James Blake taught him “just how far you can go with it.” Then, the digging began. Inhaling entire discographies across Youtube and Soundcloud of songwriters and beat makers in these circles, he became immersed not just in the subcultures of electronic music but saw the bigger picture through which bedroom producers could shake the world
