Coinciding with the release of their joint album, Misch announced on Instagram that later that day there would be a listen-along to their album and a documentary which was released on YouTube.

The film captures the making of the album and tells the story of how Misch and Dayes met. This makes the film essential viewing for fans of either artist or people just wanting to learn more about the process of recording.
Being a short 6 minutes, the film manages to fit a lot of information into the amount of time explaining that Misch had seen Dayes play drums at a school talent show when he was nine. I’m sure they would not have seen themselves making an album together all those years later. Watch the video below:
What Kinda Music was released yesterday and has so far split opinions with critics. While the musicality comes through and Misch and Dayes obviously compliment each other really well, some of the songwriting and structures does let the album down towards the second half.
While it may have split opinion among critics, many fans have taken to the album and the new sound that Misch has taken. Though it might not look like we’ll get another collaborative album from the duo, as we have learnt so many times from music, we can never rule anything out.
