For producer Barney Lister and vocalist Kojo Degraft-Johnson, music is a place to belong. Hailing from different ends of England and disparate cultures, they have come together as MRCY, creating a shared space of soulful self-expression that combines the timeless musical warmth of Marvin Gaye with the modern sensibility of Anderson .Paak. On their debut, eight-track project VOLUME 1, MRCY view the heartfelt essence of Soul through the looking glass – theirs is a masterful sound that is as classic in feel as it is contemporary in concern.
