The Absolute
Mozez, the soul singer/songwriter who shot to worldwide fame with Zero7, has released on
Numen Records his long-awaited latest solo album, The Absolute.
The album features his most sophisticated work to date. The result is a tour de force of
intoxicating songs that blends tight grooves to dreamy, haunting melodies crafted with
harmonic vocal arrangements. The Absolute is a holistic album, telling stories of the joys
and pains of life, love and loss. The songs explore the dilemma of choice, compromise,
freedom of expression and the yearning for personal significance.
Mozez has created what is arguably one of the most musically innovative, unusual and
beautifully produced albums of the year. Advance copies are attracting praise,
and The Absolute is tipped to be a hit. The video for Wings, the first single from the album,
has received almost 1.5m hits on YouTube to date.
Unlike many other contemporary artists, Mozez’ musical style defies easy categorising.
The Absolute presents a wide range of musical influences, combining soul and jazz with a
seamless fusion of references including blues, rock, electronic and reggae.
Yet its eclecticism means it breaks down musical barriers and strikes an instant chord with a
wide variety of listeners.
“It’s about someone being at the crossroads and deciding about life, their destiny and what
our existence is all about,” said Mozez. “It’s from a point in life where you look back on
yourself, and value what you have achieved and not achieved. You sit back and analyse all
these things, and think where you are within life.”
The Absolute follows Mozez’ two previous solo albums, So Still and Time Out, and has been in
the making for four years. “My vision of The Absolute is that everything had to make sense in
telling the story,” Mozez said.
Mozez and his band are planning a world tour over the coming months to support the new
album. Dates will be announced on the Numen Records web site. Mozez will be available
during November 2012 for interviews.
Biography
The first major break for Mozez (Osmond Wright) as a singer came in 1996 when, as part of
vocal house duo Spirits, he had hits with Don’t Bring Me Down and Spirit Inside.
He became established worldwide soon afterwards as the lead singer for Zero7. He worked on
the band’s first two albums, Simple Things and When It Fails.
Since 2005, Mozez has built a large following as a solo artist and producer,
touring and recording with his own band.
His debut solo album So Still was released in October 2005, a soulful album that featured
many of the down-tempo elements he had become known for. Collaborations on the album
were with Madonna producer Guy Sigsworth, Nightmares On Wax and Henry Binns of Zero7.
He followed up with a re-mix album Time Out. More recently he launched his own record
company Numen Records, and is producing a stable of new artists for the label. His works
have been used for soundtracks to various films such as Running For Time and CSI Miami.
In 2011 he released a re-mix album entitled Time Out. More recently, he has established his
own record company, Numen Records, and is producing a stable of new artists on the label.
