NEW MUSIC | MARV RADIO ‘MANTRA’

By Rishma • On What is New , ,

Marv Radio’s MAN­TRA is a one of a kind album; an auto­bi­o­graphy in audio visu­al form from the 32 year old artist who hails from East Lon­don. A sui­cide attempt, a 30 foot fall from a moun­tain, a 25 foot fall from a build­ing: Marv Radio is a survivor.

MAN­TRA is that story, a story of nearly los­ing it all and start­ing again. As

Nel­son Man­dela once said; “Do not judge me by my suc­cesses, judge me by

how many times I fell down and got back up again.”

Marv uses the voice as a thera­peut­ic tool. He has learned how sound and vibra­tion can affect the mind, body and con­scious­ness and has trav­elled through the Amazon, Andes and more. These ele­ments have guided him to his sig­na­ture take on self-care and hol­ist­ic ther­apies, focus­ing on the voice as a centre of wellbeing.

His latest pro­ject takes his audi­ence on a jour­ney through his troubled begin­nings, struggles with men­tal health, near death exper­i­ences and his even­tu­al heal­ing through music and the spir­itu­al enlight­en­ment of Sham­an­ism. This blend of exper­i­ences has set the found­a­tions for an album that is reveal­ing, hope­ful and inspir­ing in its delivery.

Man­tra is a hip hop odys­sey that pulls in futur­ist­ic afro punk and spir­itu­al influ­ences. The album is a revolu­tion in the way we think about music, the voice, men­tal health and spirituality.

The first Single on the album ‘Heal me’ is Mar­v’s own pray­er for heal­ing. He wrote it dur­ing his last bout of depres­sion in 2015; it was the magic spell to bring him­self into the align­ment and power of his poten­tial as a heal­er. This spir­itu­al-trap bal­lad has a hard hit­ting beat, but the soft vocals demon­strate the pur­pose of this song. It com­pels his audi­ence to be strong, accept the imper­fec­tions and step into the power of their true potential. 

Marv’s Album, graph­ic nov­el and film, also called Man­tra will be released in Autumn 2020.
