Zombie Flower

Kenyan-raised rapper brings vulnerability within his lyricism and a wholesome approach to his detailed percussive production. Far more than just a rapper, mau displays his ability to create melodies within his hook and bring out a lighter-touch to this bass-heavy, Hip-Hop-inspired single.

Bringing us further into his imagination, the track’s artwork adds to the ethereal, dream-state whereby this introverted, love song brings us. Featuring a vividly-illustrated music video from the help of Jenny He, the track is taken to another level with its colourful visuals.

Coming as his second single of the year after the stripped back, down-tempo ‘Try’, Mau continues to exert his force as a versatile performer with an inkling for delicate storytelling. The self-produced single proving his musicianship delves into his feelings for his muse ‘It’s easier to say when it rhymes, but harder to say most of the time’, exploring his introverted side with the contrast of this upbeat and optimistic instrumental.
