Munk Duane shares new remix

Boston-based artist, producer and film score composer Munk Duane has built an impressive career that spans both the music and entertainment industries. A Grammy-considered artist and two-time New England Music Awards winner, his music has found its way into some of the biggest TV shows and films of the past two decades.

His work has been featured in productions such as The Sopranos, Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, Blue Bloods, Pam & Tommy, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and even the Super Bowl Halftime Show. With such a diverse and prolific portfolio, Munk Duane has firmly established himself as a prolific and talented artist, creating music that connects with listeners on a profound, emotional level while also having mass appeal.

As a solo artist, Munk Duane blends soulful pop with influences from the 60s and 70s, drawing inspiration from legendary artists like Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder. His sound is at once nostalgic and cutting edge, taking classic styles and bringing them to life in his own unique way. This fusion of influences and modern production has earned him a dedicated fanbase and significant attention from the wider music world.

He first introduced his unique musical vision with his debut record Argue With Gravity in 2015 and has since followed up with multiple EPs and singles. One of Duane’s defining traits is his focus on addressing meaningful themes in his music. Whether shedding light on social issues or exploring personal challenges, his lyrics often reflect a desire to engage with the world around him in a thoughtful and impactful way.

Now Munk Duane has revisited one of his earliest works with a fresh remix of his track “Random Acts of Blindness,” originally featured on Argue With Gravity. This updated version, mixed by Duane himself and mastered by Grammy-winner Brian Lucey, who’s worked with The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys and Royal Blood, brings a new energy to the song and marks the artist’s second release with AWAL (Sony Music). Written, performed and produced by Munk Duane himself, the track is an uplifting and soulful jam, brimming with infectious hooks and infectious rhythm, resulting in a joyful and memorable listening experience from start to finish.

Brought in by the strike of drums, the track jumps with shimmering tones of funky guitar rhythms, bright organ stretches and the mellow groove of snapping drums. Munk’s dazzling vocals enter to spin soulful melodies to craft a catchy sound that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Packed full of musical charm, exquisite musicianship and sensational vocal performance, the new version of “Random Acts of Blindness” sees Munk Duane reframe his superb composition in spectacular fashion.

Commenting on the single, he shares, “It was time to give this song a new life. Random Acts of Blindness was the lead-off single from my 2015 album Argue With Gravity which was a showcase of my Soul and R&B roots that I have proudly worn on my sleeve since the original release. The topic is still as poignant today as it was at the time, calling out social media keyboard warriors who perpetuate knee-jerk reactionary statements devoid of provable, factual evidence and take no real-world action, despite their soapbox ramblings.”
