MURKAGE DAVE SEE MAN SMILE

Bright piano chords combine with a heavily syncopated percussive accompanimen to slowly build Murkage Dave’s ‘See Man Smile’. Gradually, strings and synths are added to the mix, leading to the full texture that compliments the East Londoner's soul-inflected voice. There is a subtle note of confession and innocence in his delivery, with the lyric "I feel calm" sounding less like an assured statement, and more like he’s trying to convince himself. The single is taken from his debut album, Murkage Dave Changed My Life, coming October 19th- Dan Peeke
