The Pasuruan reggae axis returns with a powerful collaboration. Madame Whimpsy — a charmful songstress through her fresh and distinctive work — joins forces with her mentor, King Masmus.

Carrying a message about coastal environments, the two came together and let the creative process run organic at Geranium Studio, distributed by DoggyHouse Records.

From the very first moment, the single “Durian” arrives with a subtle dance atmosphere. A reverb-soaked siren call welcomes the chanting and shouts of both protagonists.

King Masmus brings his signature playful-yet-witty touch — wisely accompanying Madame Whimpsy‘s metaphorical social critique lyrics. The groove runs calm but indeed a danceable one, growing more solid as their back-and-forth exchange takes over and pushes toward the end of the track.

In their hands, the fruit that always starts an argument becomes a sharp metaphor for the relativity of human judgment — humor, social critique, and regional pride fused into one track that also makes you want to move.
