Why do we like this?
From a small diamond mining town in Botswana, the now Australia-based Mwansa has released his first official single. The emotionally driven track was conceived following a challenging series of personal events. Between the loss of close family members and facing what he calls a "redundancy from his job," he turned to music:
Alongside "Burn This House," Mwansa is collaborating with artists throughout the world across various mediums and art forms to create works, inspired by the song. This series of works will be titled Reverse the Crash and will be able to be viewed on his website, YouTube, and Facebook pages. They include photography, paintings, illustrations and animated videos, to name a few.
"This single is a major departure from my previous work - musically, lyrically and vocally. Driven by the death of my brother I felt the need to write and record, as a sort of catharsis.

I start by composing the melody like you would a piano concerto then I infuse electronic elements and build layers from there. "˜Burn This House' was recorded at my home in Mount Lawley with one microphone and some old recording gear."
