We are digging this forward-thinking experimental new music from Muse thanks to their new album’s 4th track entitled “Propaganda”. Lead singer Matt, has described having a ‘speech impediment’ where when he puts a “P and R together makes the phonetic sound of a ‘PW’.
According to reports, Matt wanted to make a song in where he ‘exploited this to the maximum’, thus, creating the yummy and hypnotic ‘Prop-prop-propaganda’ chorus! Matt wrote Propaganda when he was driving one day, and he had an idea which he recorded into his phone singing the namesake title.
Matt has also shared about the tune, “We had this sort of Prince thing going on. My voice is not a traditional rock voice, so with my falsetto, I like to go down the Prince route. That is what that song is really. It’s influenced by hip-hop and funk. Jumps out as being influenced by the American beat. A slow, almost hip-hop type beat”.
Muse who co-produced with Timbaland worked at a distance. Matt was in L.A. while Timbaland was in Atlanta. He sent the song wanting Timbaland to make it sound more urban-contemporary. When Matt received the song back, it contained several in-depth layers and interesting loops which after inspired the group to add more things to it.
Get into the radical groove and hear the innovative futuristic urban rock sounds of Muses’ new “Propaganda” lyric video!
