MKO

Emerging from the steamy Brisbane summertime haze is MKO; a fresh injection of comic colour and street-chic sound. Ms MKO (Hannah Macklin) spits pink bubblegum vocals, popping fast, rap-inspired spurts, then stretching and soaring to less-travelled heights of songbirdery. Her band blast driving and often obscure neo-soul and hip-hop beats, and grungy synth-pop basslines and hooks, channelled through electro gadgets and spliced with samples. Taking inspiration from field leaders such as Erykah Badu
