Miist‘s journey into the world of music is a sensational example of the idea that talent knows no age limit. At 33 years old, she discovered her gift for songwriting almost by chance, spurred on by a friend’s insistence that she possessed the ability. What started as a challenge to prove her friend wrong quickly turned into a passion as Miist penned three songs in a single day, kickstarting her remarkable musical adventure.
Instantly falling in live with music creation, she’s been on a wild sonic ride which has resulted in an overnight success story that’s been decades in the making. In less than two years since penning her first songs, she’s finished over 50 tracks including eight co-written with Narada Michael Walden, Billboard Music’s Top 10 All Time Music Producer who’s worked with the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Aretha Franklin.
Her versatility as a songwriter is clear in her knack for flowing between genres, from pop and disco to dance, all while maintaining a consistent theme of crafting meaningful music for a turbulent world. First unveiling her sonic vision in October with her debut single “Give Her My Love,” Miist has since dropped a string of hit releases that have racked up over a millions spins on Spotify alone.
Currently producing her first full-length record titled The Songs From The Living Room which is set to be released later this year, she now brings us her latest release with her brand new single “Move Your Body Slowly” lifted from the upcoming album. Another product of Miist’s fruitful collaboration with the revered producer and songwriter Narada Michael Walden, the single delivers a shimmering display of the artist’s disco-inflected pop sound.
Opened by airy piano notes, the strike of electronic drums brings in an infectious rhythm with grooving bass lines and silky vocal leads carrying alluring melodies. Bright vocalisations are met with vibrant string flutters and rolling drum fills as the chorus breaks into a joyous showcase of catchy vocal hooks and a retro feel that transports you straight to the golden era of pop music. Brimming with colourful instrumentation, danceable rhythm and memorable vocals, “Move Your Body Slowly” sees Miist continue to operate at the very highest level with a charming new single.
Paired with the track is a music video produced by Joël Angelo Margolis which features Miist perform the song amid bright clothing and vivid background hues as she’s met with a male character to dance the night away. It’s a dazzling visual pairing to offer a cinematic experience for the single that’s already clocked 1.1 million views.
