INTRODUCING: Alt-R&B Artist Micayl Melts Minds With Stunning Debut Single “Half Hearted Lover”
It takes mere seconds of “Half Hearted Lover” to be swallowed up in the warmth of UK-based alt R&B artist Micayl’s sweet tones and meandering guitar.
Highly indicative of influences from Frank Ocean and Leon Bridges, the new single boasts mesmerizing harmonies, and perfectly muted percussion. The lyrical content is particularly engaging, detailing the pain of (potentially justified) paranoia and the loss of a romantic spark – the most impactful moments coming via the final lines of the first verse, where Micayl writes: “Everything seems to be getting harder in time/I’m asking myself every day has something in us died?”
For the accompanying visuals, Micayl effortlessly reflects the lyrical message through shifting colours and hazy transitions.
