With so many high-profile guests along for the ride-including A$AP Rocky, Desiigner, Christine and the Queens, and Damon Albarn-there’s a risk that the album could become a top-heavy exercise in A&R. Some of his musical tourism is more tongue-in-cheek: He ventures as far as the South Pacific on “ 1 Night,” which adds a steel-drum melody to a sample from “Tahiti,” a kitschy piece of 1960s exotica by the Italian soundtrack composer Piero Piccioni, and sends Charli XCX bouncing about like a drunken reveler in a tiki bar. From there, Crossan traverses the various ends of his adopted home while also cruising through the genres that have filled its inhabitants’ headphones for the past few years, from big-beat hip-hop (“Nuggets”) to airhorn-assisted calypso (“Love$ick”) and harp-infused UK garage (“What If I Go?”). His interest in the city’s cartography is literal: “Messy Love” opens the album with the sounds of a city bus and deposits us at the stop for New Park Road, near Brixton. On his self-produced debut, Crossan works the city’s spidery Tube maps into an exhilarating electronic framework where the conflicting sounds of the modern-day Tower of Babel can harmoniously coexist. “It’s a big, confusing, beautiful thing,” he says of London, “and that’s the motivation behind my album too.” It’s an ambitious undertaking for a 21-year-old white kid to appoint himself the voice of multicultural Britain, but in an era in which terrorist attacks and nationalist populism have tested the UK’s inclusive ideals, drawing inspiration from the city’s diversity is a worthy-if admittedly somewhat precocious-way of expressing its resilient, future-forward spirit. For a young producer like Mura Masa (aka Alex Crossan), sponging up London’s global flavors and subcultures is part and parcel of the creative process. Newly arriving to the metropolis can be a welcome assault to the senses, one that’s both confusing and exhilarating. any other accounts are not endorsed by /r/trap moderators and should be deemed unofficial.Oscar Wilde once said, “The man who can dominate a London dinner table can dominate the world.” No wonder: A fast-paced haven for people of all nationalities, races, and faiths, the city itself is a kind of conversation between the four corners of the earth.
