ONE MORE KISS

I wrote 'Prudence' shortly after an artist had a photographer take my photograph. She had a photo of me blown up onto a 48/36 inch canvas, and then she painted on top of it. At first, she wouldn’t show me this painting and when I saw it the first time, I was like, "Oh, my skin colour is a little darker." She put a hat on me to cover my bald head, and there were glasses on my face and a cigarette in my mouth--totally not how I was when the photo was taken. I thought to myself: that’s her perception, it’s what she sees in her artistic mind.
The second time I saw the painting I noticed my skin was lighter and I was still wearing the hat, but the glasses and the cigarette in my mouth were gone.
It was very bizarre to watch someone else do this to my face, my image. Kind of like someone scribbling over pictures in a yearbook.

I sat at the piano and started blurting out how I felt, and this song came from these experiences.

Now, the song has taken a lyrical meaning of its own that I believe relates to everyone. We all wear these ‘masks,' showing our best selves first. 
Some people get us and some don’t and some create their own version of who or what they think you are.
I think this song is an inspirational piece reminding to reveal your true self at all times--no matter which angle you may shine.

This version is an extended version co-produce and featuring L CON (Lisa Conway).

Strawberry Moon

Canadian singer/songwriter Mani Khaira is a keyboardist whose music evokes raw vulnerability combined with unexpected vocal power. Mani’s captivating sense of confessional storytelling takes listeners on a sonic journey of self-love and acceptance on his most recent release, 'Face First'.

'Face First' is a seven-song compilation exploring sexual acceptance and honesty within the context of a longterm relationship. Themes of infidelity, lust and innocence play out against uptempo beats and moody soundscapes.

Netflix star Brennan Clost from “Tiny Pretty Things” is the featured dancer and choreographer for  'Machine', the  first music video release from ‘Face First’. Blurring awareness of unity and individuation into automatic response, 'Machine' explores automated emotion.

Perception and illusion feature in single, 'Prudence', a pop song with lush synth and nostalgia, harkening back to the masks we wear. Produced by duo Twin Rains and Mani, 'Prudence' showcases the avant-pop musical stylings and 
vocals of L CON.

On the episode, “Couch Surfing” of CBC/Netflix’s hit tv show “Kim’s Convenience”, 'Naked' rouses our authentic selves with its 90’s vibe. 

Raised on Sikh hymns, Ravi Shankar classical Indian music & Bollywood legend Lata Mangeshkar, Mani’s creativity bends Eastern influences with inner city adventures, producing work of beauty and inspiration. Using his voice as an intuitive instrument, Mani transports us to an alternate reality on 'Face First'.
