Colorado’s city of Denver has proved time and time again that it is a breeding ground for some of the most innovative and talented EDM-based artists on the planet. For anyone that disagrees with this statement, taking a quick look into Manic Focus’s project will immediately change their minds. Hailing from the Mile High City, Manic Focus is a magician when it comes to engineering new soundscapes and welding genres together. He has spent more than a decade honing his signature mixture of electro-funk, hip-hop, and soul.
Stepping into a new phase of musical enlightenment, Manic Focus has dropped his seventh album, Never Not Blue. This 15-track compilation is inspired by Manic Focus’s personal struggles with Biploar 1 and coping with his manic and depressive episodes. Each song represents one of the multiple emotional states of mind during an episode, providing an eye-opening journey through the disorder.
In “You Do You”, powerful vocals are joined by a funky beat and wubz-themed sound effects. Shining light on an alternate stage of mania, “Over The Sun” is overflowing with soothing melodies and chilling future bass soundscapes. There is also a groovy collab with Marvel Years on “Illa Mind”, along with “Brassive Attack”, featuring Balkan Bump and Chika Di. In its entirety, Never Not Blue highlights Manic Focus’s one-of-a-kind artistic vision, which he is sure to deliver on his upcoming tour dates.
