Mane has been evolving and expanding his relationship with music for quite some time – and with his new tunes, he further delves into his craft, cultivating songs from an intensely personal space. “Travel has been a big inspiration to me. Places and people I love tend to creep into my tunes,” he explains, “it’s like life filters through the songs and I digest it that way.
Certain songs have such strong memories attached that each time I play them I’m transported to a certain time and place.” He has worked to distill those emotions that are experienced across generations, and he sheds light on the experiences and stories that have the ability to be profoundly moving and channeled those feelings into an expansive collection of songs for the record.
