MAVI PHOENIX JANET JACKSON

Mavi Phoenix’s new cut ‘Janet Jackson’ is slick in every single sense. It’s the perfect follow up to her debut EP Young Prophet, which is getting two fresh additions in ‘Janet Jackson’ and ‘White Polo’, the latter of which is due to be released on November 24th. Despite borrowing its name from the musical legend, Mavi Phoenix’s ‘Janet Jackson’ is very much in her own style – fusing the best of electro, rap and synth-pop. Growing up in Austria and with roots in Syria, the 22-year-old talent has been making music since the age of 11. This maturity is reflected in the eye-catching video which depicts Phoenix against minimal art-house backdrops. Mark Mavi Phoenix out as one to watch – there’s something captivatingly sincere about her sharp synth pop. -HM
