Rising Rapper MANGM Is Back With Phenomenal New Single “Trust Again”
UK rapper MANGM has returned with his brand-new single, “Trust Again”. The independent artist from Leicester has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene in 2019 and recently scored his first two 100k streams on Spotify with previous singles “Bonnie & Clyde” and “Who Needs Love”. And he looks set to keep his momentum going and reach new heights with latest release “Trust Again”, which arrives alongside a compelling music video directed by VIP (@shotbyvip).
“Trust Again” picks up where previous release “Bonnie & Clyde” left off. On “Bonnie & Clyde”, the rising rapper discusses the breakdown of a relationship and on “Trust Again” we hear him rapping from a more positive headspace about moving on and finding new love. Infused with his signature catchy hooks and melodies, “Trust Again” showcases MANGM’s star quality, as it becomes clearer with each release that he is a force to be reckoned with and one to watch.
Speaking further on the release of his new single, UK Rapper MANGM says, “‘Trust Again’ is about the spark when you first meet someone and the feeling that it gives you. I wanted to follow on the story from ‘Bonnie & Clyde’, so I needed a story just as engaging for the listeners. I tried to lift the mood with this track.” “Trust Again” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.
Keep up to date with the latest from MANGM:
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
