Mia and Travis, two of 91香蕉视频鈥� hottest artists on the scene, have released their newly anticipated album titled PROZE 1.
The nine-track album is a collaboration between the two artists whereby Travis has four songs, with Mia singing four and one duet by the two of them. It was produced and published by Relation Sound Production.
The album marks Mia鈥檚 second album following her 2018 debut album released alongside The Relations Band entitled PREZAN, which was met with universal acclaim from fans and received three award nominations for Takamaka Music Award and took home the award for 鈥楤est Female Artist鈥� of 2018.
As for Travis this album marks his third. 鈥淪o far I have a discography of over fifty songs spread over 3 albums, Relasyon (2013), Pasyon (2016) and now 2019 PROZE 1,鈥� says the artist.
鈥淢y albums are inspired by relationships (not specifically romantic), current affairs, world events and patriotism. I do not limit myself and always聽leave creative space for development while I am actually in studio recording the final vocals. A song for me is never done until the final mastering print has been sent for final processes,鈥� says Travis.
鈥淎s with all of Travis鈥� and my own album from the Relations, we always like to experiment with different genres and mixtures of sound so it will be different from what others are doing here and to create our own kind of style,鈥� Mia adds.
鈥淲e wanted to do a bit more of dance music for me, which would get fans moving and also to empower more women to be strong and proud of who they are. Especially women who have been through so much struggle and difficulties in life,鈥� says Mia.
On his part Travis says that PROZE 1 is a commercial album that allows Mia and him to explore what they can contribute to the local commercial music scene, in other words 鈥渟ongs that are easier to understand and dance to鈥�.
He further explains that PROZE 1 is another lyrically interesting album with some of Eddy Telemaque's (Director/ Sound Engineer Relation Sound Production) most ingenious production techniques.
Describing it as 鈥渙ne of the quickest albums to turn around鈥�, Travis says PROZE 1 which was in the works for eight months is a unique album 鈥渁s it is not something you will hear from other young artists locally鈥�.
鈥淎 few songs took weeks, some took days, but Trankilman and Bokou plis which are two tracks on the album took 2 years before it met its final version,鈥� says Travis.
Both artists have described the album as a fusion of reggae tone, blues, dancehall and reggae.
鈥淢y favourite songs on the album are Zistwar and Bokou plis which is sung by Travis and Dernyen Nwit by myself,鈥� states Mia.
鈥淚 would not say favourite song, but easy repeat listening would go to Trankilman. Firstly its genre is bluesy and vocals are raw!! So you really feel what I鈥檓 singing about. And the topic! I have been pulled over by a person talking about how Trankilman is so good and the way I talk to the characters in this song,鈥� says Travis.
He adds that Trankilman applies to so many layers of egotistical and power hungry characters that it relates to whoever you see fit.
鈥淚聽laughed when I told Eddy (Telemaque) that 鈥榖efore you start lighting pitch forks and joining any hunt with Trankilman as your sound track... remember someone might be singing a line of this song with you in mind... so tread lightly鈥�!!鈥�
The album is available online and the reasoning behind it is to provide listeners with an innovative way of getting music.
鈥淎s most people would be playing from digitally via USB or digital devices, this also allows us to truly give the audience better quality rather than studio quality with minimum loss of quality,鈥� concludes Travis.
PROZE 1 can be purchased online via . And it will soon be available on other globally recognised music distribution platforms.
