He has drawn comparisons to Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, and Dominic Fike, as his songs contain the flow, heart, and engaging sound equal to that of these unique artists. But alas, Mackenzy Mackay is an artist all his own. In 2022, the London-based artist released songs like “London” and “Venus,” which quickly drew praise from fans on social media. He then released “The One That You Call,” resonating with fans around the world. He now has over 3M monthly listeners on Spotify and an online following of over 1M. If you haven’t listened to Mackay just yet, maybe his new single will help you better understand why he is an “11/10.”
On “11/10,” Mackay swoons over a girl he sees as “outta my league.” Against the cool rhythmic groove set forth by the guitar, Mackay spills the tea. With a melodic rap sound, he sings, “Stolen my thoughts again” and “She got that innocent smile and a body from heaven.” In the end, he claims, “Outta 10, she 11.” The song turns into a vibrant indie-rock production by the end, going from a personal confession to a not-so-secret declaration of love.
Mackay is known for incorporating his nomadic lifestyle into his songs. He has traveled to and lived in many countries, ranging from Scotland to New Zealand. This shift in scenery has shaped his perspective on culture and life, and fans can definitely pick up on his broad views in his music. He also sings in a style full of heart and care, shutting down any doubt that he takes his gift of music for granted.
