Love Mansuy is a rising singer from Montreal (he's currently based in LA) who's showed up recently on Toronto rapper VNCHY's genre-bending Eminent mixtape His new song "Sun Valley" reveals Mansuy to be a gifted songwriter with an ear for complex, jazzy harmony and unexpected grooves. "I think I missed the exit sign," sings Mansun before settling into a Frank Ocean-ish mantric repetition of the title."What I can say is, during my drive to Tarzana, I learned the biggest lesson of my life so far," says Mansuy," "On this drive, I began to daydream about what my life will be like when it's all said and done, causing me to miss my exit and end up in Sun Valley. I missed the most important meeting of my life thus far. I've only been in California for a few months now. I wasn't too sure where I was. I couldn't even imagine how I would get back to Tarzana because I forgot my cell phone. Just like when I missed my chance with… well her name isn't that important anymore."
