Montreal Producer Anomalie Shares Glistening New Single “Memory Leaves” Featuring “Masego”

Montreal-based electronic producer Nico Dupuis aka Anomalie has shared his new offering “Memory Leaves”, which features Grammy-nominated saxophone player, singer, rapper, and DJ Masego. Cut from the same cloth, Anomalie and Masego create a 21st-century blend of jazzy electro-R&B backed by Dilla-inspired beats, as they lament about the bittersweet sacrifices of their careers in the industry.

After meeting in 2017, Anomalie and Masego reconnected when they both attending a retreat hosted by DJ Jazzy Jeff. The two instantly hit it off leading to a quick friendship and effortless musical collaboration. Nico elaborates on his friendship with Masego and what it was like working together:

“I met [Masego] at NAMM in 2017, and reconnected at the retreat prior to the session but he’s the one who put Jazzy Jeff onto me… As much as I enjoy playing music live with others, when it comes to writing and creating, I’ve always preferred doing it alone. Collaborations are still fun for me as they bring me out of my comfort zone, but once I’ve done one I’m usually excited to go back to my solo workflow. Working on Memory Leaves with Masego was invigorating. I found an amazing creative partner, and I’m still very much inspired by that session and the way the track came together. I was blown away! I hope this one resonates with you as much as it did with me when I first heard Masego’s chorus come to life!”

Merging the elegance of jazz, the soulful passion of R&B, and the slick lyrical vibrancy of hip-hop, “Memory Leaves” is an ear-tingling and dazzling offering from the Canadian producer, elevated by Masego’s smooth vocals.
