Marnz Malone - The Story Behind I Wish I Could Sing | Documentry

Singing criticism is an unusual starting point for an album documentary, but Marnz Malone makes it part of the conversation. In "Marnz Malone - The Story Behind I Wish I Could Sing | Documentry," Pressplay Media steps beyond the finished music video to explore how an artist chooses his own direction.

The description promises conversations about musical inspirations and the criticism of his singing, alongside studio footage and behind-the-scenes material from work with Skillibeng and Byron Messia. Filmed in Dubai and Thailand, the documentary had drawn about 14,000 views by the end of its first day and a half. Its opening-day audience was larger than that of any other upload this week with an available first-day total.

The week's most-watched release, though, was "(7th) YL - Life In The Hood (Music Video) | Pressplay," approaching 50,000 views. Several commenters say the "7th" billing made them expect East London's Forest Gate, turning the title into a small geography discussion. The video also has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active uploads, followed by Malone's documentary and the newly posted "#Runitup JUGG£R J - Hell's Kitchen (Music Video) | Pressplay."

Tg, Jefe and Mzo's "#GGL Tg x Jefe x Mzo - WDYM (Music Video) | Pressplay," BU$Y16's "BU$Y16 - TEN/TEN (Music Video) | Pressplay" and Rb Gus's "Rb Gus - Switch Up (Music Video) | Pressplay" rounded out the releases.

For Pressplay Media overall, daily viewing is almost exactly at its usual level, and subscribers were unchanged over the week. Link Up TV and BBC Radio 1Xtra are also close to their customary daily viewing. Here, the distinctive addition is Malone's invitation to look past a finished track and into the decisions behind it.
