Introducing The MFs: A Unique Musical Collective
Collaboration Between Music and Literature
Describing themselves as “a collective of oddballs and scoundrels dancing to the beat of UK author Mo Fanning,” the MFs have released a 12-track album to accompany Fanning’s latest book, ‘Rainbows And Lollipops’.
Now available for streaming and download, the album titled ‘Just Stopped By’ complements Fanning’s upcoming novel, which is set to be released on June 12. Pre-orders for ‘Rainbows And Lollipops’ can be made here, along with additional insights into the book.
The Birth of The MFs
Mo Fanning, the mastermind behind this creative endeavor, grew tired of relying on purchased music for his promotional videos. This frustration led to the creation of The MFs, a musical group that draws inspiration from iconic artists like ABBA, Blondie, and Kirsty McColl, alongside Swedish singer-songwriter Anna Ternheim. The album ‘Just Stopped By’ not only tells its own story but also weaves seamlessly into the narrative of ‘Rainbows And Lollipops’, offering a rich auditory experience for fans of both music and literature.
Musical Themes and Highlights
‘Just Stopped By’ is a vibrant collection that encapsulates the essence of Fanning’s book. Each track stands out individually while contributing to the overarching themes of joy, introspection, and relational dynamics present in ‘Rainbows And Lollipops’. One standout track is ‘Miles Away’, which was released as a single in April. With a rhythm that mirrors the motion of a train, the song explores the complexities of relationships and the doubts that can arise, enhanced by an actual train sound effect at its conclusion.
Another noteworthy track, ‘Rainbows And Lollipops’, infuses a theatrical element into the album. Its more relaxed tempo allows the vocalist’s voice to ebb and flow, reflecting the emotional highs and lows depicted in the lyrics.
