The visionary artist and filmmaker Mikahl Anthony launches the hotly anticipated release of the multi-personnel driven โMUSEโ album with the precursor donut. โSpace Blueโ and โDeep Ainโt Itโ typify the breadth of style and sound to be found on the forthcoming long player.
This one hits a nostalgic vibe with its Sun Ra grounding, modern, spacey undertones, Marvin Gaye-inspired musicality, Lil Wayne textures, soothing qualities of Erykah Badu, and throws in a bit of Andrรฉ 3000 swagger. It serves as a profound reflection on deep connections, whether through intentional meetings or chance encounters. “Space Blue/Deep Ain’t It” is a sonic masterpiece that transcends conventional expectations, leaving listeners in awe of its depth and complexity. This enigmatic musician, lets the music take centre stage, revealing a kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound across soulful hip hop, funk, jazz, and afrobeat spectrums.
โSpace Blueโ is Produced by Nico โDonnie Trumpetโ Segal – Grammy Award recipient (Producer) ~ Coloring Book 2016, a Grammy Award nominee (Producer) ~ โUltralight Beamโ – (Kanye West) and Performing Artist with (Frank Ocean Live Tour) 2016. Additional credits include co-production by Mikhal Anthony, and Engineering by Lon Renzel. โDeep โAinโt Itโ is produced by Renzel x prolific beatmaker Evil Needle.
A highly sought-after multidisciplinary artist… but who is he??? Hailing from the West side of St. Louis, Missouri, Mikahl Anthonyโs sonic roots are spread far across the global Alt-Soul/Hip-Hop scene.
All we know is that he collaborated on a project with Via Rosa (of the soulful electro Duo Drama) on The Great Depression EP. He also was Co-Curator / Featured Artist / Producer on Jean Deauxโs EP – Outer Body.
With a mantra that delves into self-reflection with storytelling, Mikahl’s ‘M.U.S.E’ encapsulates a dual meaning acronym (1. Ms. Using Sensual Energy & 2. Making Use of Seclusion Everyday).
Accompanied by breath-taking, self-directed film pieces, โMUSEโ is more than just sonic; it’s an immersive audio/visual experience that places storytelling at its core.
