Bruce Mack, also known artistically as B-MACK, is a veteran of the New York music scene, celebrated for his versatility as a vocalist, composer and instrumentalist. With a career spanning decades, Mack has made significant contributions to various ensembles, showcasing his talent across various musical styles.
As an original member and former president of the Black Rock Coalition, Mack has been at the forefront of shaping the music landscape, infusing his projects with a blend of funk, rhythm & blues and alternative influences. With his solo work, he’s proved himself a prolific creator since dropping his single “Transparent Matter” with former bandmate Kenneth Edmonds back in 2017.
Since then, he’s shared multiple well-received releases including singles, remixes, EPs and full-length records while linking with artists such as Rene Ojeda, Sharif Kales, his outfit Nubian Messengers, Kojo Ayinde Johnson, Iyedun Ince and DJ CrazyEd over the years. Now he brings us one of his latest releases, this time working with guitarist Ben Tyree on the brand new single titled “Silent Witness” with drums performed by Chris Eddleton.
Leaning into the more alternative side of his sonic vision, with this new single, B-MACK serves up a funk-injected, blues-inflected jam packed full of grooving rhythm and soulful vocals. Opened by bright synth textures that form a dreamy soundscape as delicate guitar notes dance, the snap of drums brings in the full band sound.
Rattling hi hats and gritty guitar tones collide as B-MACK’s compelling vocals ride above to spin a catchy and highly original sound. Bruce’s expressive voice steals the show with a stunning display of his range and command of melody, rising to soaring heights as the steady groove of the arrangement backs him up perfectly.
Ben lays down his musicianship flair with a slick solo wrapped in fuzzy effects, capping the track with pure rock excitement as the song develops to a spacey finale where the airy synth tones combine with the rest of the instrumentation to provide a memorable and enthralling crescendo. With more music on the horizon, including recording with inventor of the Eventide MISHA sequencer, key player Leon Gruenbaum, 2024 is set to be another thrilling year for Bruce Mack and his incredible musical adventure.
