.marcusmumford spoke to Billboard about making his '(self-titled)' album, the healing he has found and more.
At the time, I had no plans on releasing anything. [Adele’s manager] Jonathan Dickins, who’s a friend of mine, was like, “Mate, stop procrastinating. Just go and write songs. Whatever they’re for doesn’t matter. Just follow the creative.” And I made that commitment to myself to write songs. They were just going to be for me at this point. “Cannibal” came first. I was in the place where I was not imagining anyone hearing it yet outside of friends.
You’ve written so much about shame in some of your songs before this album. Even though you certainly address shame in the driving track, “Prior Warning,” was it liberating to let go of much of that shame in these songs? Brandi and Elton [John] were really important right at the beginning. We’re at dinner here in Los Angeles and they both said to me, “Something’s going on with you.” Or, “You feel really different to how you did before.” And I think what they were noticing was a peeling back of shame, actually, but I presented differently. I had lost a bunch of weight and I was just carrying myself differently. I played [“Cannibal”] for Elton on the way home from dinner, I drove him back to his house.
talks about it — you’ve always got to leave people with hope on records. And there’s no better teacher than Beyoncé, I reckon. It was a lot of effort. It was painful. [Director] Diane [Martel] kept going, “Dude, I don’t know if you’re alright to do this, but let’s try this.” And I was like, “F–k it. It’s a day. She’s a genius. I love her work and so respect her and I want to do right by her.” I’m glad I did it. It did feel cathartic, too.
All the vocal collaborations are with women — Brandi, Phoebe, Clairo and Monica Martin. Was that intentional?
