Brown Mansur - Rihla

Facts Mansur Brown shares his truest, most honest album to date. Rihla is the Arabic word for a journey but can also refer to writings about that journey. Embarking on this voyage, you’re hearing an artist in full flow – bucking trends and freely making music that isn’t confined by genre. This new chapter sees Mansur introduce his vocals for the first time, alongside a heavier rock & electronic undercurrent, whilst maintaining the melodic essence you’d expect from Mansur. There are echoes of r&b, and sci-fi-esque synthesisers that beam vivid imagery. Guitar remains at the centre of Mansur’s music, but it’s by no means the only component. Straddling the roles of songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, this spirit of self-sufficiency cuts through everything Mansur does. Previous collaborations include Yussef Dayes, Joy Orbison, and Little Simz.
