Having dropped the We Are The Universe EP late last year South London-based artist Reginald Omas Mamode IV has announced his first album. Drenched in soul, the two tracks below sparkle with a concoction of syncopated drums, free jazz, smoked-out synths and Dilla-esque vibes.
The album is said to touch on personal themes such as relationship communication breakdown, to the universal, in the anti-war theme of ‘The Value’.
“Nowadays music seems to be used more as a crutch for humanity.. Most people seem to have forgotten it’s a life blood of our species. The natural rhythms of our hearts beating and the melodic instrument ‘the voice’ gifted to us at birth, are some physical examples of how inherent music is within our being. We all need this thing we call music. Just as all our ancestors did.”
– Reginald Omas Mamode IV
