Keep up the grind with help from Mo's latest empowering single, "One Time," now available on all digital streaming platforms.
Welcome to BuzzMusic, Mo. We love the inspirational and relaxed feel of your latest single, "One Time." Why did you want to create a song that pays tribute to those working hard to make their dreams a reality?
I just wanted to relate to other creatives. I wanted to make something for comfort on this uncomfortable journey we chose and also speak to myself. I needed to release my feelings.
Did you work entirely solo when creating the hazy and lush production for "One Time?" What was that creative process like?
Completely solo. I made the beat for an artist, but it wasn't his style. I'm not that good at finishing beats within a day, but I wanted to go on a streak of finishing beats daily. When I made this I went in with only the thought of just finishing something.
What was the main message or concept you wanted listeners to take away from "One Time?"
I want them to use it as a song of motivation and a release of stress. I want them to listen to this like it's a break-up song.
Do you usually create rather reflective and thought-provoking songs like "One Time?" How does this song help us get to know you better?
Yeah. I try to make songs that make you think but also not too lyrical. I want you to think, but not solve a puzzle in my lyrics. This song is how I think. It's a really accurate representation of where my mind is at the moment. I wrote out what I was thinking and then made it rhyme.
