RELEASE OF NEW SINGLE 'ARRIVED'
ARRIVED is the first track to be released since Mau Power's sophomore album Blue Lotus earlier this year. The album features collaborations with Radical Son, Benny Walker, Jimblah and George Musu to name a few.
Defined to “reach a place at the end of a journey or stage in a journey”, ARRIVED is about the realisation of when you have arrived at an important, singular moment in your destiny. Beginning with gratitude for 'the flow', the track hits hard with energy from the jump and features the soaring emotive RnB vocals of Marcus Corowa. "The driving motivation for writing this song was inspired by “what life can become” and in turn, the song became a personal mantra, speaking this vision into existence along the way." says Mau Power.
