Los Angeles-based artist myah stirs with a synth-led pop and rock attraction all through IS THIS WHAT I SEE?, a memorable new EP with themes of affection and existentialism. “I battle quite a bit with existentialism and the way time strikes too quick,” myah says. “I miss the recollections of the previous quite a bit, and I usually marvel what life can be like if it moved somewhat slower. This EP is my approach of capturing these emotions.”
Opening the EP, “with you” bridges breezy guitars and dazzling synth prospers inside a hooky “I don’t wanna miss you,” admission. “Will we lastly kiss?” the vocals proceed throughout a dreamier part, traversing seamlessly into the aforementioned hook. The following “i’ll be your gentle” struts a buzzing pop immediacy, asking “is that this the way it ends for us?” inside a stirring anthem that seems like a autopsy to a relationship; the title-touting hook arrives subsequently, with a starry-eyed synth glow. Elsewhere, “flames” stands out for its evolution from lush intrigue into cathartic invigoration; we coated that observe extra in-depth final yr, right here.
One other standout, “misplaced at sea” asks “how can this be?” whereas retracing efforts to remain afloat amidst tumult. Serene vocal layers and jangling guitars traverse inside a compelling soundscape. EP finale “say it” weaves vocal introspection and mellow piano pulses to begin, infusing sharp synth atmospherics because the vocal momentum escalates — admitting “I misplaced all of it, and I’m keen to fall,” because the catchy rhythms infuse. An acknowledgment that “it’s over,” and a drive to “exit by myself,” reveals alongside, furthering the discharge’s themes of affection and existentialism inside the lens of 1 breaking free from prior strife.
