NEW PROJECT THE FLORIST OUT DECEMBER 10

CURRENTLY ON TOUR ACROSS THE UK  - TICKETS ON SALE NOW

TORONTO, ON – October 5, 2021 – Today, Vancouver, BC / London, UK singer-songwriter, Mauvey, shares another instalment of his forthcoming digital project, The Florist. Irrational arrives as a statement that lives up to its title, and embracing its newfound definition. The song, released as a double single, alongside Insecure, on September 24, continues to pick the petals of Mauvey's story on The Florist, set for digital release December 10. Watch the video for Irrational here. 

"Irrational is my anthem. I've come a very long way. From being someone who would constantly apologize when I didn't need to, someone who was deeply affected when people would call my dreams delusional and irrational," Mauvey says. "To someone who still cares, but not enough to apologize. The truth is, my dreams are irrational and they are delusional, but it's made it all the more satisfying seeing my dreams come true. Irrational is where I am at right now, completely comfortable in my skin and competent in my abilities."

On Insecure, Mauvey adds: "Insecure is about vulnerability. Although I have come a long way and although both middle fingers graciously go up to any doubter, Insecure is telling me that in the moments where I don't feel 100%, It's OK. It's OK to NOT be perfect, It's OK to be a bit Insecure sometimes."

Mauvey has been releasing an array of singles that will be a part of The Florist, with 9, the first instalment of a multi-part film series of the same title, following five characters connected by interesting and serendipitous circumstances.Watch the video for Mauvey's previous single, Sunday Afternoon, a song about being so obsessed with someone that only 'the biggest night out of all time' will get your mind off them. Watch Sunday Afternoon here and listen to the song here.

Mauvey is currently sharing his dynamic sound and stage presence across the pond with UK audiences. Stops include Brighton, London, Wrexham, St. Andrews and Southampton, closing out in London on October 25 where he'll rock Pizza Express Live. Find all tour dates and tickets here. 

While Mauvey has been releasing an array of singles that will be a part of a digital project, The Florist, due out later this year. 9 is the first installment of  a multi-part film series of the same title, following five characters connected by interesting and serendipitous circumstances. In part one, 'Henry' (the Florist) is introduced along with 'Mauveylocks' (the Clown) and 'Marv' (the Clown's Driver). Henry is a dreamer that delivers flowers to a beautiful property and is knocked off his feet when a mystery subject opens the door. Mauveylocks has been invited to a party at the property. In part one, we see the Clown and the Driver arrive and leave the property. As the screen fades, viewers will have to wait for part two to see what happens next. 
 
“The Florist is my directorial debut, and to do it with a team as talented and as accomplished as Amazing Factory is something special,” Mauvey says of the process. “It has been surreal to go from an idea in my head to treatments sent over email to the first day on set. I honestly couldn't be more excited for the world to see the story unfold. To know that it all connects, all the way to the album is what is magic. My favourite part is knowing the whole story, knowing how it all ends, having my time with that before everyone else knows.” 
 
Mauvey unveiled an engaging video series leading up to the single release of 9 called 9 Days of Flowers, where he delivers flowers to fans, community members, and friends to share acts of compassion, care and kindness – watch these videos here, where the song’s chords flow as an instrumental soundtrack. The caption is as simple and powerful as the action: ‘I LOVE YOU. PASS IT ON.’

About Mauvey: 
Born in Ghana, West Africa, and raised between the U.K. and Vancouver, Canada, artist and songwriter, Mauvey, filters his unique batch of alternative pop music with hip hop, R&B/soul always alongside his message: Love. “My message will always be Love” says Mauvey, who has designed his projects to distribute Love through the creative narratives of intentional songwriting, intelligent melody, and hypnotic beat.

Mauvey has been influenced by artists like Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Oumou Sangaré, Prince, Childish Gambino, Labrinth, NAO, The Weeknd, and Andre 3000, as he goes on to state: "I am inspired by artists who made contributions so significant that they or their music will never be forgotten."

A passionate Mauvey says, "If my entire music career is a giant book about the rigours of Love, the ups, the downs, the highs and the complicated lows, I'd have done my job of distributing Love", he goes on to say, "I want to be clear about what I'm talking, singing and rapping about - no games - I don't know everything, but I know that Love is everything, there's no better subject.”

In Summer 2020, Mauvey was awarded by the MOBO Help Musicians Fund. Mauvey has also been well supported by Huw Stephens’ BBC Music Introducing on Radio 1, including being Mercury Prize nominee Georgia’s ‘pick’. As well, Mauvey has gained backing from Jamz Supernova on Selector Radio (British Arts Council), after partnering up with W Songs, Warner Music UK’s publishing subsidiary.

Notion Magazine says, “The singer-rapper-songwriter is a breath of fresh air with his unforgettable authenticity projected in his music.”

Mauvey's powerful lyrical content is unashamed, he isn't perfect, and he's not trying to be. Love is his mission, not just words in songs. The themes are not always black and white, at times, they’re a bit Mauvey.
