There’s something deeply luxurious, and impressive about MNA’s brand new album “Paradise”. Coming at you with a hot, on point beat, pretty much the entire album depicts a fast-paced and fascinating lifestyle. Some of the tracks are gritty, while others are high-end, but one thing they’ve all got in common is that they’re all filled with the same undeniable flair we’ve come to expect from MNA.
Originally from Olney, Maryland, MNA (Matthew Nino Azcuy) always knew he had a passion for singing, and making music. Raised on the musical golden age of the 80s and 90s, the artist knows how to bring forth a deft blend of rock and rap. His music is hard-hitting and highly addictive, in the way where you’ll definitely be bopping your head to the beat.
Several tracks off the album stood out, during our initial listening of this low-key gem. “You Got a Big Forehead” is a sexy track, full of spit and attitude. It’s gutsy, and at the same time, it’s got a kickass rhythm to it, using the full power of MNA’s voice to deliver a powerful, and nuanced performance.
Another track that appeals greatly to the listener is the smooth, creamy “Coffee”. This one’s a strong love song:
“Kiss me so I know,
Do you like me?”
The tune is deeply melodic, and the beats blend perfectly with MNA’s smooth, deep voice. In truth, all of the tracks on the album are songs of deep human passion, but they all explore different sides of the human spirit. Some are more street, while others are low-key romantic, and therein lies the beauty of artists like MNA. The inane ability to stand and deliver a powerful, meaningful tune, alongside a carefully crafted beat.
