Khaleel Mandel is the Composer of the 2020s & New Architect for Music

By: Get News
The Multi-Instrumentalist/singer-songwriter/MC/Producer remains unsigned and has embraced being the change he wants to see

If you were in search of a Discography that can deliver unheard of sonic multiplicity, Khaleel Mandel’s catalogue should come straight to mind. Being the Co-Founder of his independent company DoubleCrown Inc. Khaleel has helped shape the multiple albums of fellow members Vaughn Davis & Keion Jevon, while lending unmistakable influence elsewhere. Alessandro McLaughlin holds the Director Title for all of Khaleel’s music videos, such as the most recent video ‘Jamila’.

Khaleel’s third album Close The Book released November 21, 2020 further instituted him as a token for music’s direction today. Taking the right risks is what’s yearned for in soundtracks, and Khaleel does not take said matter lightly.

Within a four month span Close The Book has been played a total of over 300,000 times across DSPs after it was exclusively released on khaleelmandel.com

Songs from his third album such as ‘Catharsis’ display just how unmatched Khaleel Mandel’s approach is. The Wurlitzer chords on top of elaborate drum & synth patterns are mixed with a vocal refrain of Mandel’s Vocal Overdubs following piano lines. He has really fine-tuned a technique where it sounds as if we’re listening to a choir, but it’s just his voice sung from numerous timbres. The mentioned technique is exhibited on the equally powerfully orchestrated song ‘Stifle|Sabotage’. This song’s references to Tulsa Oklahoma offer a meaningful view of how Khaleel carries on legacies.

Khaleel states, “ An important reason why I even wanted to make Philharmonic was so some rappers would wish they had the production from the album first. Then they’d realize the same person who’s rapping over these beats is the same person who composed the beats in the first place”. It wouldn’t be a long shot claiming he pulled this off.

Philharmonic, Executive Produced by DoubleCrown Co-Founder Vaughn Davis, sounds like a body of work involving a production team of far more musicians than only one. This is what in large part makes it so interesting hearing arrangements coming from Khaleel’s brain.

Philharmonic’s Outro ‘Fulfillment is an Inside Job’ offers verses with advanced writing, which come from someone who’s still so young. At age 26 Khaleel prioritizes our listening experience. Driving around past neon lit signs during these spring evenings with ’A Taurus Queen’ playing is such a scene to behold.

Khaleel Mandel is an expert in constructing a new sound for other artists. He proclaims “From when Vaughn asked me to include Sounds of specific Planets as transitions on New Chi or when Keion asks for Spaghetti Western Hip Hop on ENKEIII, I’ll adapt to lists of languages. Adaptability is what DoubleCrown is here for. I’ve been making music for 17 years and have made every kind of record I’ve wanted to so far. I have more I want to make, but I don’t know what a lot of them are even supposed to sound like yet. Since Close The Book & Philharmonic dropped, sometimes I wonder how many more people’s work will include my sound by the time I’m 30”.

Regardless of who outside of DoubleCrown has yet to work with Khaleel Mandel, if you listen closely to whom may be deemed as his peers, Mandel’s nuances seem to have rubbed off on a select few.

Connecticut is all throughout everything Khaleel Mandel offers this world. He mentions “A lot of household names who were born with 203 as their area codes hadn’t claimed us, so I took it upon myself to lead with my region. There’s been reassurance from other CT reps though. In 2016 after Brennyn Lark planted her own flag in Broadway History, and made sure she told you she’s from Norwalk, our state’s strength went up more. I’ve had UCONN Women’s Basketball team’s consistency as a part of my prototype standard since childhood. Nowadays Paige & Evina host classic talent shows on IG sometimes.”

There are a few things Khaleel will never lose. His integrity, ownership of his Discography, & his need to outdo himself. With four straight self-produced masterpiece albums gaining value by the week, at this rate Khaleel Mandel is walking the right path to become one of the greatest to ever do what he does.
