FACES: MEET THE PERSON BEHIND MR CRUSH
CRUSH Magazine | Orange Crush Tybee Festival Reloaded Music Spotlight
Most people know Mikey by at least one name. The music offers a chance to meet the others.
“Faces” opens Mr CRUSH, the album credited to Mr Crush and Plug Not A Rapper with Party Plug Mikey. As the first track, it gives listeners a starting point for a project built around one artist with more than one public identity.
The title invites a question: which version of a person are you seeing? The artist. The host. The person getting ready for the crowd. The person who goes home after the event.
Previous CRUSH coverage has approached “Faces” through that idea of identity and the different roles people carry. For listeners who know PartyPlugMikey through Orange Crush, the song offers a reason to look beyond the familiar name and spend time with the recording.
Start with “Faces,” then continue into “PlusOne” and “Moor or Less.” The opening three tracks give the album room to introduce its world before moving into “PinkSoda” and “LongIslandIcedTea.”
For the Orange Crush Tybee Festival Reloaded audience, “Faces” is a selection to hear before the weekend and revisit when you want to understand more of the artist’s catalog.
Start at the beginning. Press play on “Faces.”
