Other King MAS
14 Love From A Distance

In another show of versatility, King MAS brings forward some Afrikan vibes in this tune continuing his romantic story and for the first time ever sings in another language, the Zimbabwean tongue of Shona. "With my queen being based in South Africa and me being based in the USA, this tune was composed over the course of many nights where the time difference saw me sending her off to bed via different modes of communication and thinking about her still. The greatest moment was being with her before the album was released and watching her reaction as I played it for her the first time." says MAS. With a hypnotic, rhythmic percussion section accompanied by a light acoustic guitar strum blended seamlessly with the other elements, synthesized and natural, the musical production (played almost entirely by MAS, accompanied by Felix Mwangi of 12th Note Productions) is a perfect palette allowing the lyrics to flow freely and ring true. "Love From A Distance" stands out among all of the records on this album and has become an instant fan favorite for it's danceable, Afrikan feel, it's catchy melodic structure, and it's strong Shona influence highlighted by MasSicker's recent trip to Zimbabwe. In another case of art inspired by life, King MAS truly touches a nerve with this one and hopefully he won't have to "Love From A Distance" for too much longer..
