Vinnie Mak aims straight for the heart with the release of his EP, Shades Of Man
Having appetised his audience with two singles, Naninina and Crucifix, Vinnie is ready to serve the buffet with his latest offering Shades Of Man – on its full platter.
Shades Of Man is a love letter from the first song right to the outro, but not in typical Vinnie Mak style. Here, Vinnie Mak unearths his versatility in this by collaborating with Kenza to fuse his heart-wrenching soul with an afro-tech inspired sound. The songs are coated with love themes and that of heartbreak.
“My intentions, always, are to open the listener up. We are human because we feel, so let’s dig into them openly”, says Mak. The album Shades Of Man is a true reflection of the different Shades of Mak.
Vinnie Mak was one of the first artists’ to sign with ALTBLK>> a home for unique African independent artists, founded by Msaki – of whom he recently supported at the Lyric Theatre. He has shared stages with the likes of Samthing Soweto, Urban Village, BCUC, Gontse Makhene, Zu, Umle. He produces and curates his own shows entitled’“colours in the dark‘ where the audience gets to know the true Vinnie Mak, a chameleon of emotions embracing the abstract.
