Posted August 20, 20195 yr Slated to be released in January of next year. The first song of the album, which is "I Don't Think I Can Do This Again" and is a collaboration with Clairo, is out this Wednesday. @1163059196285337601
August 20, 20195 yr He's promised "pop" on social media a number of times, so let's see what tomorrow's new single is like. I really hope the second album includes "Move Me" and "Complicated", as those are two of my favourites of his!
October 25, 20195 yr Author His second album is called R.Y.C. (acronym of Raw Youth Collage) and will be released on January 17. The album includes collaborations with Ned Green, slowthai, Tirzah, Georgia and Wolf Alice, besides Clairo.
November 9, 20195 yr All of slowthai's songs are good tho x Feeling pretty underwhelmed by the stuff from this Mura Masa album so far after really liking a lot of his previous releases, 'Deal Wiv It' is better than the previous 2 singles but I'm still not LOVING it, was definitely hoping for better after how great their previous collab on 'Doorman' was :( it does really just sound like a bootleg The Streets song and slightly lacks the charm The Streets normally has. Hoping it might grow on me.
November 13, 20195 yr ...and grow on me it has with a couple more listens xx it's still no 'Doorman' but I've got into it a lot more now.
January 6, 20205 yr Tracklisting: 1. Raw Youth Collage 2. No Hope Generation 3. I Don’t Think I Can Do This Again (with Clairo) 4. a meeting at an oak tree (with Ned Green) 5. Deal Wiv It (with Slowthai) 6. vicarious living anthem 7. In My Mind 8. Today (with Tirzah) 9. Live Like We’re Dancing (with Georgia) 10.Teenage Headache Dreams (with Ellie Rowsell) 11. (nocturne for strings and a conversation) I've loved all 3 songs released so far, so I'm hyped for this! Particularly the Georgia and Ellie Rowsell collabs!
January 13, 20205 yr 'Live Like We're Dancing' with Georgia is Hottest Record tonight! @1216724653835804678
January 14, 20205 yr theguardian.com/music/2020/jan/10/mura-masa-ryc-review-alex-crossan The Guardian have given the album 1 star in one of the strangest reviews I've read.
January 14, 20205 yr I just can’t at the way he describes music. It’s a very short and uninformative review to be honest and feels more like a personal opinion rather than a critique from a subjective stance. I genuinely hate The Guardian’s reviews. I’m not saying he’s wrong to give 1 star as I’ve not heard the album in full but I’ve enjoyed the singles so far so it seems like a really harsh rating!
January 15, 20205 yr I haven't exactly hated the singles from this album ('Deal Wiv It' I still think is pretty good, if not nearly as good as a Mura Masa/slowthai song should be, and 'No Hope Generation' was alright enough too) but I'm just confused as to why he seems to have completely abandoned the sound that he broke through with. There's nothing about any of these songs that would make me think they are Mura Masa songs if I didn't already know they were. He's just completely sold out his individuality and I'm not sure for what purpose? It's not like he's getting any hits out of it. 'Teenage Headache Dreams', as I was worried from the title, is pretty egh though. It sounds like The Chainsmokers trying to make a 'rock' song. No thanks.
January 15, 20205 yr I'm guessing it's just the music he wants to make now - and I'm all for it as I'm not a massive fan of his older music. (though Lovesick is pretty good)
