Mikael is an exciting pop artist hailing from Prague, blending his talents as a singer-songwriter, producer and actor into a compelling Czech music project. With a penchant for synth-pop and sophisticated electronics, in 2019 he made his official artistic entrance via his debut full-length record titled Easy, a hit-filled nine-track release that firmly placed Mikael on the map of rising artists making an impact in the Czech Republic and beyond.
After winning over fans and earning acclaim from critics and tastemakers on his first outing, Mikael has since started work on the follow up. His upcoming sophomore record, titled Focus, promises to deliver an expansion of the artist’s infectious synth-driven sound as he continues to share his compelling sonic vision via another long-format release.
Collaborating with both Czech and international artists, Mikael has already unveiled several tracks from the upcoming album, including the successful radio ballad “Alone Together.” Now he brings us his latest release with the brand new single lifted from the forthcoming record with “Take a Chance.”
Brought in by Mikael’s expressive vocal leads, his soulful voice immediately sets up an engaging soundscape as intricate percussion shots and bright instrumental tones are met with a punching beat as the song takes flight. With slick melodic leads, his smooth, floating voice threads instantly catchy leads over an energising synth pop arrangement packed full of danceable energy and vibrant textures.
With another showcase of Mikael’s infectious pop sound, “Take a Chance” delivers a thrilling new taste of the latest chapter of this talented artist’s musical story. With his new twelve-track album set to drop later this month, Mikael will no doubt continue to win over fans around the world with his sensational synth pop sound.
Commenting on the new single, Mikael shares, “I wrote the lyrics for the song within a single day. While it might seem like it’s about a romantic relationship at first, it actually delves into a personal journey with one’s own health issue, focusing on anxiety. It tells the story of someone trying to make peace with their anxiety, accepting it as part of themselves, and learning to love themselves fully despite it.”
