Cardiff artist Mirari announces the release of his debut  EP ‘The Last Cowboy’. This highly anticipated debut sets the stage as a complete introduction to the eclectic artist. The two singles (‘Class of Deja’ & ‘FIRST CLASS’) released ahead of this EP offered a glimpse of things to come and have received a wealth of support from BBC Radio 1Xtra, Kiss Fresh & ChoiceFM. ‘Class of Deja’ was also added to Spotify’s own Grime Shutdown Playlist.

Mirari’s sound is both unpredictable and undeniable. ‘Class of Deja’ is a hard-hitting classic grime record taking inspiration from the likes of Kano, Skepta & Chip. Meanwhile, ‘FIRST CLASS’ is a melodic blend of Afrobeats (paying homage to his Nigerian heritage) and Baile Funk. The success of both records despite their differences indicates Mirari’s prowess and flair as a musician. This is something his fans in Cardiff are well aware of as he continues to build a cult-like following in the region with a string of exceptional live performances through 2023 (Tiny Rebel Fest, Focus Wales & New Skool Rules).

The last few years for Mirari has been about earning his artistic stripes, putting the rounds in. His EP, ‘The Last Cowboy’ is about stating his case as THE premier artist coming out of South Wales. He describes the music “as an experience to live with. I build a world and invite you to live in it”. The music is an audio journey featuring everything you would expect from a Classic Western movie but with Mirari’s vocals driving the narrative accompanied by a backdrop of production that is both cinematic and theatrical. It explores themes such as honour, redemption and the struggle between good and evil characterised by urban London life. The music creates a setting that is sparse and multi-layered – similar to the contrast of the typical American frontier during the 1800s: vast landscapes, deserts, small towns and rugged terrains. It features hard-hitting beats, twangy guitars and epic scores that add to the atmosphere and tension and it’s out now.
