MAUIMØON doesn’t just sing, he floats over heavenly sounds. The Ugandan artist has carved a lane for himself by staying consistently true to his art. His loyal fan base trusts in his artistic vision and adores his flawless execution. In collaboration with La Soulchyld, he continues his run of cohesive projects with the follow up to 2021’s “Pleasure” EP. In full 007 mode, the album ‘From Uganda With Love’ is Mauimøon
and La Soulchyld at their best.
‘From Uganda With Love’ features the same brilliant production which has endeared many fans to MAUIMØON’s music. The album also bears witness to MAUIMØON’s constant pursuit of next level sounds. ‘From Uganda With Love’ opens with the keys on the Afro-RnB joint; ‘Say My Name’, a song that can only be described as sexy and genius. MAUIMØON’s tone and wonderful weaving of melodies is reminiscent of late 90’s and early 2000’s classics by greats like Craig David and Joe Thomas. His harmonization technique is especially noteworthy, pulling the listener in and hitting them where they can feel it – something the lead single “Supahawt” does so well. The bouncy ‘What You Want’ sees MAUIMØON and guest Maui from Nowhere show off their chemistry over menacing drums. Here, MAUIMØON uses a vocal technique that aims at giving his voice the low and rough texture typical of dancehall acts. The technique works well and MAUIMØON still manages to sound like himself. ‘Felony’s simple but catchy hook is guaranteed to stay on repeat in your ears and in your head. On ‘Really Need’, MAUIMØON is in full slow wind on a cold night mode. “Baby if you ask me, I can make it nasty”, he croons over La Soulchyld’s sensual grooves. With a runtime of just under 18 minutes, ‘From Uganda With Love’ is best described as a short trip over well sequenced sensual soundscape accompanied by a voice guaranteed to get you in your feelings.
All the production on ‘From Uganda With Love’ is handled by La Soulchyld (MAUIMØON’s alter ego).
