Otis Mensah - 'Sound of Sleep'

Interdisciplinary artist and vocalist Otis Mensah releases ‘Sound of Sleep’ – their first single since relocating to Berlin at the end of 2022. The understated and ambient track explores the concept of introversion in an industry and society that revels in extroversion, comparing the musical process to the quietness of nurturing the quality of sleep and tackling feelings of insignificance in a world of noise.

Otis approaches ‘Sound of Sleep’ with precise aesthetic intention, painting the landscape of sound with imagery that teases the body and skin, while handling themes of dissociation and claustrophobia with beauty and softness. Featuring jazz, hip-hop and experimental influences the rising alternative star takes their own artistic influence from the likes of contemporary genre-bending trailblazers including Anna Roxanne and Shamir.
