Drawing us in with an immersive strings soundscape, and an astral flute, Mark Mallman opens The Cancer with an introspective nature as he sings the opening prose, “The hardest way to learn a lesson, is in the middle of an intersection…”

The opus expands with philosophical depth and dimensionality to take us on an eye-opening and somewhat playful journey as Mark shares his wisdom and emotional side with us. The song itself is released today, at the start of Cancer season and taps into a high emotional quotient.

Speaking on this sentiment, Mark Mallman says, “It’s essential to be emotional when you’re creative. I feel lucky. Yes, we cry a lot, but we’re also kind and happy.” We appreciate the prophetic and timeless energy that the song exudes and we are always ready to support conscious artists that align their releases with source energy.

Mark Mallman, also known as Mr. Serious to his fans, embraces his Cancer zodiac sign as essential for creativity, emphasizing its emotional depth. In 2019, he published The Happiness Playlist, exploring the emotional richness of artists and musicians, often characterized by their sensitivity.

Mallman, recognized nationally in the underground music scene long before his TikTok fame, is renowned for his unpredictable and wild live shows. These performances, which could last up to 78 hours, featured eccentric concepts like performing in architectural costumes, showcasing his reputation as a keyboard-playing madman with a knack for brilliant songwriting.

Mark continues, “Neil Young’s After The Gold Rush inspired the lyrics—that’s why the third verse is about aliens.” Mallman expanded on the inspiration for this track,
 “I scored it for strings to sound like ‘Eleanor Rigby.’ Lana Del Rey is also a Cancer and an influence. I love her songwriting.”

We love what Mark Mallman is manifesting, and have added The Cancer to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of the star, including I Love You, I Steal Your Gas, and Before The Music’s Over.
