Our Take
Our Take
MYKKI BLANCO's latest offering, "Stay Close To Music," is a wild and eclectic ride through the realm of avant-garde rap and electronic beats. Blanco, known for their boundary-pushing music and fearless persona, does not disappoint on this album.
From the opening track "Stay Close," it's clear that Blanco is not here to play it safe. The production is intricate and layered, with pulsating synths and heavy basslines that make you want to move. Blanco's flow is sharp and relentless, showcasing their skill as a lyricist and a performer.
Tracks like "Loner" and "Summer Fling" delve into personal themes of solitude and longing, while songs like "Love Me" and "Free Ride" bring the energy up with infectious hooks and danceable rhythms. Blanco effortlessly switches between vulnerable introspection and fiery confidence, creating a dynamic listening experience.
The album's standout track, "For the C**ts," is a powerful anthem celebrating queer resilience and defiance. Blanco's fierce delivery and unapologetic lyrics make it a standout moment that will surely resonate with audiences.
Overall, "Stay Close To Music" is a bold and exciting addition to MYKKI BLANCO's discography. It's a testament to their artistry and creativity, and a reminder that staying true to oneself is the key to making great music. Fans of experimental rap and genre-bending sounds will find plenty to love in this album. Cheers to MYKKI BLANCO for continuing to push the boundaries of music and never settling for the status quo.

About the artist
Mykki Blanco
"MYKKI BLANCO is like a musical chameleon, constantly reinventing himself with each release. The self-proclaimed 'hip-hop's wild child' has been making waves in the music scene since 2012, with his genre-defying sound and fearless attitude. Blanco's music is a melting pot of influences, blending hip-hop, punk, and electronic beats to create a sound that is uniquely his own. His high-energy performances have gained him a loyal following, and his boundary-pushing music has garnered critical acclaim. But Blanco is more than just a musician - he's a true artist. His provocative lyrics and bold persona challenge societal norms and push the boundaries of what it means to be a performer in today's music industry. Whether he's donning a glittering gown or tearing up the stage in a leather jacket, Blanco is always in control and always unapologetically himself. With a string of EPs and mixtapes under his belt, MYKKI BLANCO shows no signs of slowing down. His latest release, 'Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep,' is a testament to his evolution as an artist and his refusal to be confined by any one genre or label. In a music industry that often favours conformity over creativity, MYKKI BLANCO is a breath of fresh air. With his infectious energy and fearless attitude, Blanco is a true force to be reckoned with and a shining example of what it means to be a true artist in the modern age."
