Mirah- sweet, a nice juxtaposition between being reserved and over the top. It’s loud, quiet, and surprisingly cute. If you aren’t endeared or don’t get caught by the melodies, keep trying because she does use a bunch of different approaches with each track. I’m a sucker for that high pitched squeeky voice thing- (broken social scene, cocorosie) and she’s worked that. Even her talky-singy parts almost have a lykke li sound. If regina spector and the moldy peaches had a baby, it would probably sound a lot like mirah- well, a sound baby. Her words are over annunciated. There’s a home feeling to some it. It’s soundtrack type stuff for sure. Mellow and melancholy without being sad, her emotions are pretty blunt and it’s like a good comfort food if you find yourself sharing a similar state. Her song, ‘Garden’ was used on So you think you can dance a few years ago but she hasn’t taken off due to it. It was a brilliant and artistic contemporary jazz peice that was dark, sexual, dramatic, and a season favorite. This was back in the time when i was a predator for sytycd. I’m glad when they use unknown artists and worthy music to allow the public to witness dance bringing it to life. There’s not much of a better way to be presented.
Her voice is soft, smooth, not the very first of its kind but it never seems to get old and the subtleties are the nicest element. This is the kind of gushy irresistable stuff that you could really touch someone with in a mixtape for romantic purposes- assuming we’re 17 and in the 90s or we’re one of the many that will remain 17 and in the 90s
It’s like light orbiting towards your ear. Stop paying attention and leave mirah playing. Eventually, your breathe will be deeper and longer without you even realizing. That’s a good sign for her. If yours isn’t, then you’re either really admirably relaxed at all times or you’re an uptight mis-music-understanding goon. Goodnight.
