The new album 'Rihla' will be released on August 1st.
Brixton-born artist Mansur Brown has unveiled the final teaser of his upcoming album ‘Rihla’, which will be released next week through his self-managed label AMAI.
The track ‘Love Is Mine’ transitions from a folk-inspired dream to a blend of trip-hop and twilight rock. It follows earlier singles ‘Alone’ and ‘Faded’ while incorporating vocals into his musical style.
‘Rihla’—which translates to “journey” in Arabic—was entirely composed, performed, and produced by Mansur, showcasing a mix of dimly-lit R&B, DnB, and heavier alt-rock influences.
He describes the album: “’Rihla’ is like a diary of my life so far. It reflects on the beauty of life alongside its struggles, highlighting how every experience has significance, and offers a detailed reflection on humanity. The album weaves together all my influences in the most authentic way, and I consider my music to be genreless and limitless.”
This marks Mansur’s first album since 2021's ‘Heiwa’ and his initial new music release since the ‘NAQI’ EP in 2022. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists including Fontaines DC, Deftones, early 2000s Timbaland, Afrobeats, and Burial, Mansur eagerly explores a broad musical spectrum.
He shares, “My music embodies a variety of emotions, but it primarily conveys feelings of happiness and gratitude. I aim for it to feel revitalizing.”
