Mystery Artist: The Child of Lov

 

Who is Domino's newest signing The Child of Lov?

Well... I’m not sure. But this is what we do know so far:

The Child of Lov is one guy. His studio team includes Damon Albarn (Gorillaz, Blur), MF DOOM and Thundercat. He writes, produces and performs his music using guitars, a cheap pink bass, a keyboard, some self-made instruments, a lot of raw vocal harmonies and a big hip hop heart.

He started making music secretly at age 15, and even now in his early twenties, likes to retain some privacy - which is why he's not releasing much information about himself.

The Child of Lov has been living more or less like a recluse for the past few years, spending time in London, Paris and Amsterdam, whilst being more artistically rooted in the southern state of Georgia, USA.

Those in the know have likened his music to such names as Gnarls Barkley, Jai Paul and Prince.
