MNA, the multi-talented artist otherwise known as Matthew Nino Azcuy, has just dropped his latest track, ‘Brightest Skies’. Released earlier this month, and with over 122,000 streams already, the new cut is a passionate blend of alt-rock and electronic influences.
Growing up in Olney, Maryland, MNA was surrounded by the vibrant music scene of the 90s and early 2000s. Inspired by both rap and rock icons, he embarked on his own musical journey at the age of sixteen. Finding his signature sound was a process of experimentation and refinement, eventually leading him to collaborate with local producer nemo on the album ‘Diamond Dog’.
‘Brightest Skies’ is a powerful illustration of MNA's artistic vision. A vibrant and wonderfully passionate return, it sees MNA stepping firmly into alt-rock territory to deliver an uncompromising single. Opening with deep melodic flourishes and simmering with potential, ‘Brightest Skies’ dives headfirst into a glitching electronic vibe that sits restlessly beneath the dynamic rock style. With a blessed, emotive edge, MNA easily delivers lines like ‘You are the brightest sky’, adding heart and soul to the beating rock sounds.
But MNA is more than just a musician. He's a multi-faceted creative force who has also made his mark as a published author and professional movie actor. These diverse experiences undoubtedly contribute to the depth and richness of his music. He's even described songwriting as a form of therapy, helping him navigate challenging times and emerge stronger.
With its compelling theme and innovative sound, ‘Brightest Skies’ is an essential new release. MNA's ability to seamlessly blend genres and deliver both charismatic raps and soulful crooning, often infused with humour, sets him apart. He's definitely an artist to watch, and the new single provides a glimpse into the exciting future that lies ahead.
