Menura

Lost in thought, Menura wanders the streets of his post-apocalyptic city. Lost in the void of life and overthinking the chaos of love, the chaos of life, he feels comfortable. Under a streetlamp he pauses, puts on his headphones and starts humming a song he wrote. The heavy subs and futuristic synths of the melody’s complexity flowing through his saturated voice into a hypnotizing chaos.

Menura is Nicolas Boivin, singer-songwriter based in Montreal, accompanied by his beat-maker brother Alexis Boivin, aka Sleep Schedule and Franco-Spanish producer Hugh Denolle, Menura delivers a unique hip-hop project with deep, complex lyrics and new age beats. Members of Double Magnum, a Montreal-based pop band, Nicolas and Alexis teamed up during in the past year, with Hugo, a good friend and founder of Studio Morena, to launch an exciting and novel sound.

Inspired by Travis Scott-style auto-tune vocals and reminiscent of the melancholic tunes of francophone signers such as Joe Dassin, Menura’s emotional lyrics evoke the neo-soul beatmaking of Sleep Schedule with French and Belgian hip-hop artists inspirations such as Swing, Laylow and Zed Yun Pavarotti.

Menura’s debut single “Blow the Candle” will be available on all platforms on November 5th, foreshadowing a bilingual EP in 2022.
