senna JMB Presents Debut Album ‘Purity’

senna JMB’s latest release ‘Purity’ is a testament to his music discography. The eight-track offering is a genre-blend incorporating elements of cloud rap, postpunk, IDM-influenced electronics, and experimental pop. 

Purity, purposefully focused on "songs" as such, occasionally recalling the pop-rap of Yung Lean or the pop-meets-post-punk style of Yves Tumour. The rhythms were carefully co-produced by Kiche (Ismaël Iken) and have a strong sense of nostalgia and urban unrest mixed in with an obvious punky and club-oriented vibe.

The album’s sound isn't totally modern, but the breaky beats, vibrant synths, and fluffy autotune all have a modern digital vibe to them. The unrelenting interplay between the frantic and unapologetic guitars creates a sound that is both in line with today's hybrid internet culture and evocative of dissonant guitar tones from the ‘80s and ‘90s. senna JMB is looking towards the future with one foot in the past.

senna JMB's punky, visually-heavy rap tracks, "Weekend," "Bossa Nova," and "Lotus," send listeners on a self-referential trip. He combines views of the present with recollections from his early years, creating a vision of a fantasy future that collapses due to his own arrogance. Strong basslines, dreamy guitars and synths, upbeat, breaky drumming, and existential lyrics delivered in swaying rap flows are all present in the tunes.

With its danceable trap beat, IDM-inspired sounds, and lyrics full of escape and drift, "North Sea" is a darker music. Genesis embodies the unadulterated energy and perplexing allure of the city, while 'Slap Back' combines a breezy, bright vibe with a Brazilian baile funk beat. senna JMB's tracks "Chains" and "Retro Green" show a dark side. His appealing expressiveness infuses mysterious, introspective themes into Purity's distinctive sound, giving it a fresh depth.

“Purity, counts eight uninhibited tracks that surf on a dreamy energy and create a rule-free world that makes it impossible for senna JMB to be pigeonholed. Its title refers to rebirth through music, to staying true to intuition, the freedom of inconsistency and change,” senna JMB comments on the release.
