Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, MC, activist, philanthropist, and acclaimed Hip Hop artist Maimouna Youssef a.k.a. Mumu Fresh has a very busy summer and if fans are looking for new music, the wait is over!
Mumu Fresh, in collaboration with Grammy-Award winning producer DJ Jazzy Jeff’s PLAYLIST Sessions, released a single triad (three) that includes the songs “Bitterness”, “Let’s Eat”, and “Chasing Rainbows” for the latest installment of the Chasing Goosebumps series called The Healing.
Mumu sings to your heart, yet speaks to your intellect while the words settle in your soul leaving you wanting more. “Each song is different and gives you a little hip hop, R&B, and funk… this music is not only meant to be heard but to be enjoyed,” states Mumu. “The topics range from the complexities of being a woman (love, relationships, respect) to the social and civil injustices that plague our community. All these things make up who I am and who I represent as a whole.”
