Artist Close- Up: Shawn Wasabi IS SO GOOD!

If candy could become music, it would be MANGOTALE! This record is the light you need in these times, and stands out with fellows producers/ beat-makers like Girraffage, Jessy Lanza, Big Wild, Jayda G and, of course, Kaytranada. Each of these artists have really distinct way of making music that is ethereal enough to make you feel high, grounded enough to make you dance, and light enough to not mind either.

Back in the day, in the pre-covid Club, music like Wasabi’s felt like water. It was the tracks where you could dance freely without feeling like A) I have to whip out my old, Backstreet Boys choreography and Tik Tok dances or B) the low of a night of raving where you are dancing to “dance,” but really wish there was a bed to quickly nap. WOW! I miss nightlife! Yet, the specialness of Mangotale is that it celebrates nightlife as if it were day. It is bright, sweet, and colorful in its beats; as if to relish those that consider 8PM their 8AM.

When asked about the record, Wasabi explained, “This is my first full-length project & I’m incredibly excited for people to listen to it! I produced almost the entire thing on my laptop at home! I’ve changed, developed & grown so much over the last five years – my understanding of the world, of myself & my personality; being disassembled & reassembled; making friends; the people I’ve interacted with & my different musical inspirations/mentors. I feel like this project perfectly expresses that shift while also channeling the energy & emotion I had in those different chapters of my life. MANGOTALE also flexes a lot of my musical range between collaborative pop energy production and weird knob-twiddling audio manipulation sound design.” LOVE IT!
