Mother of the Night - Mama Blue (Dark Pop) There’s an other-wordly-ness to Mama Blue’s latest track, “Mother of the Night.” The record is an incantation punctuated with hiphop influences from the knocking kick to the tight trap percussion. Mama’s lead takes several forms—a lilting seduction hanging in the air, a hissing snake similar to the “parseltongue” of the Harry Potter movies, and finally a layered and synth infused lead that blankets the track as guitars and horns hang in the reverb. When we close our eyes, we almost envision a bazaar, or a hookah lounge, with exotic dancers gyrating in a smoke filled room. An after hours club drenched in tension and a goosebump stirring sense of danger. Hypnotic and entrancing, this is one would go great with an edible.
Best Lyric: “My beautiful creature with darkness in your eyes.”
