The Absolute
Mozez next album Absolute is a beautiful blend of Trip/hop, Ambient, Downtempo songs,
recorded and produced by himself and it is due out in summer 2013.
The Absolute is a holistic album, telling stories of the joys and pains of life, love and loss.
The songs blends tight grooves to dreamy, haunting melodies crafted with harmonic vocal
arrangements and they 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. The video for Wings, the first single from the album
remixed by Filippo Clary from Gabin, 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.
The second single Broken Toy is due to be released on May/June 2013. Mozez and his band
are planning a world tour over the coming months to support the new album.
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 UK down tempo
band Zero7. He worked on the band’s first two albums, Simple Things and When It Falls.
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 he 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.
Mozez has just completed the production of the soundtrack for the documentary “No Way As
Way-A Discussion on Self-Mastery” celebrating the 40th anniversary of Bruce Lee “Enter the
Dragon” which will be released in the summer worldwide.
