Mura Masa is Brit producer Alex Crossan, and for his just-released debut album he’s managed to corral a group of guests, including the ridiculously talented Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz, etc.). While his songwriting, instrumental, arrangement, and production talents are oft-praised, Albarn doesn’t get enough credit for his singular, nuanced vocals. To hear what we’re saying, watch Albarn’s understated but deeply-felt vocal on the Mura Masa song Blu, as captured live by La Blogothèque. After some gibberish, the song actually starts at 1:45. Proof positive that Albarn could even sing Rod McKuen and make him sound interesting.
