Machinedrum shares new songs "Star" and "Believe in U"
Machinedrum is back with two more tracks from his upcoming album A View of U - "Star" and "Believe in U".
"Star" and "Believe in U" follow on from Machinedrum's lead singles "Kane Train" (featuring Freddie Gibbs) and "Ur2yung".
The first of the new tracks is a collaboration with Thundercat and Kendrick Lamar beatmaker Mono/Poly, and includes vocals from Tanerélle.
"Believe in U" sees Machinedrum chop up The Jackson Sisters' '70s hit song "I Believe in Miracles".
A View of U is Machinedrum's ninth LP, and will feature collaborations with Sub Focus, Father, Rochelle Jordan, Chrome Sparks and more.
The "U" in the new album title represents the universe and/or the infinite, and the title as a whole represents an out of body experience. Machinedrum explains, "The feeling of being out of your body feels infinite. It feels like time has stopped. It feels like the birth of creation. It feels like the impossible becomes possible. It feels unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. It feels scary at first but once you let go of that fear and surrender to the experience it feels incredibly beautiful and life changing."
He adds, "When I am in the creative zone I tend to forget time, who I am and where I am. As I became aware of my OOBE (out of body experience) through song creation, choosing what songs should go on an album as well as through my meditation, I realised that this was meant to be the central theme of the album."
