FALL [REVIEW]
Fall (feat. David Sindel) is the latest single from synth-pop savant MKMGA (@mkmgaofficial), who bridges the raw nostalgia of 80’s new wave with wistful, lush vocal performance. The single is organic; growing and layering hypnotically with a thumping backbeat to drive the track. Sonically, Fall is built for fans of MGMT, Empire of the Sun and PNAU. The analog synths dance and weave around MKMGA’s voice, making for a multi-sensory listening experience.
When asked about the track, MKMGA is direct - ‘Fall was inspired by someone very close to me. It's fundamentally about embracing your imperfections and being open to the possibility of failure’.
The artist’s process is varied - ‘Sometimes a track begins with a melody or hook that's been lingering in my mind. For lyrically-driven songs like "FALL," I usually start with writing the lyrics, and then the melody and hook follow’.
MKMGA is a name you should know. With a history of chart success (#4 on iTunes for his tune You Do You), sync placements (Network 10) and radio airplay (Puso82.3fm) under his belt, the artist is growing his presence with every release. Few artists in the electronica realm are as versatile and as rounded as MKMGA, with a host of previous releases touching on heartfelt pop (Heart Says No) and progressive house (I’ll B Near You).
More releases are on the way for the artist, who will leave no stone unturned within the electronic soundscape and beyond.
