In a world where division and strife seem to dominate the headlines, Australian newcomer Mason PM aims to create music that transcends boundaries and brings people together. His music is all about inclusivity, authenticity, and upliftment – and he wants it to resonate with everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.
The keen listener is bound to connect with Mason’s latest album, ‘Universal Themes’, a nuanced and refined piece of artistic integrity with an emphasis on elegant and convoluted lyricism. Sonically, we are in theatrical pop territories, with the record also sharing a certain eclecticism and poignancy.
Essentially, Mason PM has adopted a unique persona, complete with a black and white mask that blends the Comedy and Tragedy masks of Ancient Greek drama. This symbolizes the two extremes of the human experience, which he aims to explore in his music. Notably, he’s also developed a series of Dictums – noteworthy statements that express a general truth or principle – for each of his five albums. Talk about long-term plans! The Sydney-based talent has very clear ideas about his career, championing an aesthetic based on a meaningful delivery, rather than musicianship value.
A worthy listen – perhaps not for everyone, but we encourage you to give ‘Universal Themes’ a go, you won’t regret it.
