London artist MULIMBA releases his sophomore solo release Your Own Blood, a dark and brooding track about the closest off all relationships, family and the ability to argue, but then forgive one another. His songwriting is shot through with naked emotion, utilising crunching indie and searing soul, gospel-influences and rock distortion, clipped guitar lines and surging electronics.Â
Commenting on the new track he explains, “Your Own Blood is about family. That could mean your family by blood, your best friend/ close group of friends or ultimate just somebody that you care about deeply. I wrote Your Own Blood whilst going through a rough patch with somebody very close to me, but even though we were both hurt by things we’d done and said to each other, we still had an unconditional love for each other. No matter what you’re going through, good or bad, family will always be there.”
The former frontman of HAUS is bringing a new raw energy and ferocious attitude to the indie pop scene. This was self evident on his debut single Damn, which was produced by ex HAUS band member HYLTON and released at the end of 2019. With his new offering, Your Own Blood, he lays down his trademark expressive vocals over a spread of deep, bass-heavy electronic instrumentation.
