UNIVERSAL SWEDEN’S MAVRICK RELEASES JAMES BLAKE INSPIRED NEW SINGLE
Mavrick
The Weight – New Single
Single taken from EP available on October 7th 2016 via Universal Music Sweden
“Classically soulful vocals and dropping, dramatic beats” – Noisey
“Reminiscent of M83’s inspiring glow, of Austra’s literate songcraft, but it sits in a universe of its own.” – Clash Magazine
Mavrick– the name says it all. After 2015’s breakthrough single Remedy touched on a mixture of modern day gospel pop music with a drum and bass foundation, nothing has been straightforward when it comes to Mavrick’s song writing. The imagination demonstrated in Remedy soon caught the ears of Apple Beats Zane Lowe who aptly championed him, increasing the demand for new music, as well as being selected for 2016’s Spotify Spotlight Programme. The stage was set…
Wonderfully titled The Weight is a classic pop melody, demonstrating Mavrick’s vocal potential and exceptional use of dynamics, reminding us of HONNE. Inspired by his grandfather falling ill whilst on a trip to Iceland, Mavrick dissolved himself into the minimalistic the sound of James Blake and MOTHXR, the result being this powerful, heart-wrenching track that was written in just one take on a cell phone. The contemporary melody of The Weight could be placed alongside the likes of Rationale and Fyfe. It is taken from the upcoming EP ‘Atlantis’, which will be available in all the usual places on 7th October 2016 and demonstrates a rising force in Swedish music coming into bloom in highly impressive form.
