Reginald Omas Mamode IV - No Maybes (Single)

British-Mauritian vocalist and producer Reginald Omas Mamode IV stands strong with new single ‘No Maybes’, a follow-up to 'Our World'.

“Carried out ‘In plain sight’ in front of us all.. We collectively should all now be certain that the powers that govern and those who extort rule over them, to be clear, are beyond evil… ‘No maybes’ from here on.” – Reginald.

‘No Maybes’ is his second single for Melting Pot Music. There is more to come.

Born and raised in Britain whilst maintaining a firm connection to his father’s African island. South London to the Mascarene Islands (Réunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues) where Reginald's family roots lay. Music runs deep in the Mamode family with his brothers Mo Kolours and Jeen Bassa being recording artists but also their relatives contributing to the ‘Electric Sega’ recordings in Mauritius during the 1970’s.

Reggie’s music is informed by Golden Era Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul, Afro, Funk, Sega and Maloya. Africa, the Caribbean, South London and the Blues of The States. Echoes of J Dilla and D'Angelo as well as clear influences from Sly Stone, Shuggie Otis and Lee Perry. With four solo albums on Five Easy Pieces (and a string of collaboration projects including Twit One, Tenderlonious & Flako), Reginald has been instrumental in shaping the UK beat and jazz sound/scene of today, 2012 marked the start of Gilles Petersons ongoing support, playing his music for over a decade.

No Maybes is part of a new album, set for release later this year. Experiencing somewhat of a production rebirth, Reginald has moved away from sampling to play an array of instruments - including drums and drum machines, percussion, guitar, Fender Rhodes and synths.
