Broken Hearts And Beauty Sleep (Transparent Mauve Vinyl)
Transparent Mauve Vinyl!
Mykki Blanco’s evolution and road to this new album, Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep, reflects an artist who has never been more in touch with their creative impulses.
It’s been just over a decade since the moniker ‘Mykki Blanco’ was created — first as a video art project portraying a teenage female character (inspired by Lil Kim’s ‘Kimmy Blanco’ alter ego) posting vlogs and raps on social media.
They have pushed hip-hop to some of its most untethered bounds, melding noise and experimental elements with club and trap sounds. The album was produced with the help of Big Freedia, FaltyDL, Hudson Mohawke, Dev Hynes and more.
