London based singer/songwriter Mo Brandis burst onto the scene late last year with his debut EP ‘Undercover’. With influential tastemaker support from titles including CLASH MAGAZINE and ATWOOD MAGAZINE, as well as being placed on SPOTIFY’s ‘Chilled Pop Hits’, Mo’s soul-filled vocal and signature pop sensibilities once again comes to the forefront with his new single ‘Smoke & Mirrors’.
Mo’s latest release is a bold and seductive track that underlines his vocal capacity with a robust, captivating production. With huge choruses and infectious hooks, weaved together with deep RnB influences, SMOKE & MIRRORS is a gem of a soulful pop track that gives us a further taste of what this emerging talent has to offer.
The EP ‘8’ outlines a clear new lane full of bold contemporary nuances, whilst adding a crisp electronic edge that serves to prove Mo’s versatile approach to songwriting. Having already garnered Top 10, platinum and gold releases as a songwriter in over ten countries, Mo’s latest material places him firmly in the spotlight as an artist in his own right.[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"></v:path> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"></o:lock> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="officeArt_x0020_object" o:spid="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t75" style='position:absolute;left:0;text-align:left; margin-left:330.15pt;margin-top:15.75pt;width:150.95pt;height:150.95pt; z-index:1;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square;mso-wrap-distance-left:12pt; mso-wrap-distance-top:12pt;mso-wrap-distance-right:12pt; mso-wrap-distance-bottom:12pt;mso-position-horizontal:absolute; mso-position-horizontal-relative:margin;mso-position-vertical:absolute; mso-position-vertical-relative:line' wrapcoords="0 0 21600 0 21600 21600 0 21600 0 0" strokeweight="1pt"> <v:stroke miterlimit="4"></v:stroke> <v:imagedata src="file://localhost/private/var/folders/0y/hwkds7fs5z97ztgv30hrrsjw0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0/clip_image001.jpg" o:title=""></v:imagedata> <v:textbox style='mso-rotate-with-shape:t'></v:textbox> <w:wrap type="through" anchorx="margin" anchory="line"></w:wrap> </v:shape><![endif][if !vml][endif]
Speaking on the track, Mo states:
“‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is about someone who finds it hard to let go and open up to a new relationship, even though everything feels great and exciting. She’s basically expecting to be let down again, thinking it’s just another illusion of something perfect and I’m trying to convince her that it’s actually different this time.”
