When they all finally met at\u00a0Sorry to Bother You\u2019s Sundance Film Festival premiere, the chemistry was undeniable and a collaborative plan was struck. The result of that mutual appreciation and creative drive has resulted in the new single called &#8220;Mangos&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The track comes from Stanfield&#8217;s hip-hop project with\u00a0Song Exploder\u00a0host\u00a0Hrishikesh Hirway, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearemoors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moors<\/a>. Recorded at\u00a0tUnE-yArDs&#8217; Oakland studio, &#8220;Mangos&#8221; is a slightly dissonant and distant declaration of independence. Reverberating in echo, Stanfield raps about a refusal to relinquish identity from the perspective of a would-be slave: &#8220;I&#8217;m captain of my ship\/ And kingdom of my throne\/ I&#8217;m standing on my own\/ The land that I call home\/ I told the white man no\/ Not got getting on that boat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a press release about working with Stanfield,\u00a0tUnE-yArDs&#8217;\u00a0Merrill Garbus said,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:30px;\">&#8220;He had really specific ideas about the track, different characters he wanted to give voice to, and we worked together to keep amping up the weird. Times are weird.
