Toronto based solo artist Mackenta releases the new video for ‘FLYING,’ the closing track from the new EP ‘Life On Venus.’ Needless to say, we’re super excited to be running for the premiere!
Mackenta, a force in the Toronto music scene, combines seamless vocals, clever rap flows, and dreamy melodies in her fine-tuned approach to alternative-R&B and modern soul. She embodies the duality of human nature—equal parts sensitivity and sharp edges. And today, we’re diving into the cosmic world she’s crafted in her latest EP, ‘Life On Venus’.
‘FLYING,’ the closing track, is a standout addition to the record and now comes equipped with a sparkling, vibrant and spotlessly produced new visual. An ethereal concoction of soulful, sultry R&B melodies, clever wordplay and a swaying, elegant synth led backdrop, adorned with some tasty guitar licks, the track is an ethereal R&P-pop bop.
Built around themes of liberation, self-acceptance, and ambition, Mackenta explains: “I wrote ‘FLYING’ about manifestation and following your dreams. It represents me making the decision to stand in my confidence.”
Speaking about the new EP as a whole, Mackenta explains: “For ‘Life on Venus,’ I wanted to make a project with a range of moods, emotions, and experiences, and in particular, the feminine experience. That’s where Venus came from; the themes in this project align with the symbolic meanings of the planet and the Goddess.”
