Mura Masa releases his much-anticipated, self-titled debut album on his own imprint of Anchor Point (via Polydor / Interscope Records). Mura Masa features an extraordinarily diverse cast-list: ranging from Damon Albarn, Christine and The Queens and Charli XCX to A$AP Rocky, Desiigner, Jamie Lidell, A.K Paul, and affiliates of Alex’s own Anchor Point family (like Nao, Bonzai and Tom Tripp). In and amongst all that, musically you’re as likely to find Prince-style wired funk sitting next to trap as you are tropical-inflected house and acoustic balladry. It’s singularly Mura Masa’s vision of what pop music (and modern British culture) should look like in 2017. Even the artwork rejects the idea of running to the page, or living in a box.
