About 'MISSD CALLS'
Mixtape Release From MUNBOI
"In MISSD CALLS, we join MUNBOI as he navigates a breakup, with each track depicting a different emotional stage - while bringing a selection of alternative sounds inspired by genres from R&B to garage for each track.
​
'Runaway' is the lead single from MUNBOI's next EP 'Missd Calls' (due August 17th), which focuses on the stages of emotional detachment after a breakup. 'Runaway' is the reflection of the final stage: coming to peace with the love that we must let go - and moving on. We hear MUNBOI wistfully look at an alternate life where everything worked out and he could ‘Runaway’ with his ex - then realise that everything is the way it's supposed to be. Ever the shapeshifter, on ‘Runaway’ again MUNBOI incorporates new influences into his music, making for a high energy indie hyperpop style track, ideal for bouncing in the sun.
​
In 'Feelings', MUNBOI is in denial. Over a jazzy guitar-led beat, he opens his heart to his ex and pours out the part of himself which still loves them - and also wants the best for them.'Feelings' is the first stage of reflection after a break up, even though many emotions circulate our brains at this time you just want your partner to be happy even though it hurts, MUNBOI processed this by sitting in the rain dramatically listening to Joji. 'Feelings' was inspired by that R&B/ Hip-Hop sound with a blend of smooth tones and powerful lyrics filled with emotions this track is the perfect chill track to sit and reminisce to.
​
Then on 'Kinda Suck', that denial turns to frustration in a record which feels like chill RnB but flows seamlessly over a garage beat. 'Heartless!' he vents, as he bemoans the twisted feelings that have led him here. There's an element of stoicism in the lyrics as he comes to accept his relationship is over - but then despite his misery his cheeky personality comes back to the fore at the end as he bluntly concludes "You kinda suck.". This track is perfect for those long drives and those portable JBL speakers moments with the homies."
'BOREDOM'
Single Release from MUNBOI & Ray Wills.
"In BOREDOM, MUNBOI teams up with long-time friend Ray Wills. The song revolves around past relationships of both artists which have seen couples cure each other’s boredom - but not love each other. Their verses dovetail beautifully, and the song has been supported internationally by Jamz Supernova on Selector Radio for the British Council, and BBC Introducing”
'EUDAIMONIA'
Debut Album Release From MUNBOI
“In his 12 track self-produced debut album 'EUDAIMONIA', MUNBOI reflects stoically on life over the past couple of years. Combining multiple genres and moods, it’s a fun, funky LP with elements of hip-hop, pop, and RnB soundscapes, which has now racked up over a million streams on Spotify alone.
This album is a reflection on MUNBOI’s past self, showcasing messages of philosophy throughout. These messages tell the story of MUNBOI’s journey, while also serving as a guide for the listener on their own path. The duality of this album is also found in its production: the pop and RnB influences make this an easy first time listen, but each time you revisit it you’ll find something new, as MUNBOI introduces shimmers of ear candy in every track to keep your mind moving.
Utilising MUNBOI’s inspirations from Tyler The Creator to Jamiroquai, this album is “for those summer days with the homies - or those rainy nights alone.” MUNBOI wishes for you to enjoy and relate to the listening experience, to take what you need, and to feel inspired."
