Originally hailing from South Florida and now based in Los Angeles, myah is an exciting artist framing her penchant for alternative music through a pop-tinged lens. From a young age, myah was drawn to the world of music, crafting a unique sound that blends elements of alternative rock, pop and pop punk.
Influenced by iconic bands such as The National, Talking Heads, Modest Mouse and Twenty One Pilots, myah’s musical output offers a fusion of catchy pop writing with emotive storytelling. Making her artistic entrance in 2019, she dropped her debut single with a cover of “Better Not” by Louis the Child, returning last year with her sophomore outing “hide.”
This year she’s been riding a wave of creativity, releasing multiple singles already, including her recent track titled “now or never.” The new single is a engrossing alternative pop track cut with rock stylings that thematically revolves around the timeless cliche of missed opportunities and the regret of “it just wasn’t the right time.”
Infused with romanticism, attitude and a echoes of grungey grit, the song is an enthralling journey through the highs and lows of love and longing. Brought in by the flutter of buzzing guitar tones, the song takes flight with the laid back beat and hazy tones of guitar as myah’s airy vocals hover above. Threading delicate melodies carrying storytelling lyricism, the song rises to an infectious chorus of snapping drums, lightly gritty guitar tones and vocal layers capped by instantly memorable melodic leads.
Drifting back into the mellow rhythm of the verse, myah’s voice is backed by hushed yells to inject subtle energy. Reaching a dreamy bridge of stripped-back arrangement contrasted by expressive vocals, the outro sees myah cast her alternative influences via impassioned screams into the final moments before abruptly cutting out. It’s a superb showcase of her originality while delivering a compelling sound that’s at once accessible and thought-provoking.
