Toronto Indie Pop Artist Mikalyn Shares New Single “Phases”

Toronto-based indie pop artist Mikalyn has shared her new single and music video “Phases”. Lead by her warm, angelic vocals, the new single is a personal appreciation for feeling comfortable and happy on her own.

“The song is really self-explanatory to an extent; I’m singing about the different phases you go through in life but ultimately, the big takeaway from the song is to not dwell on the past,” Mikalyn explains. “It’s not worth it because no matter how much energy you devote to it, you can’t change anything. And while I think everyone sometimes wishes they could do things differently, sometimes what you believe to be small moments can end up leading to bigger things.”

Shot on a 90’s-era VHS camcorder, the video for “Phases”, directed by the song’s co-writer and producer Chris Grey, leans into the song’s natural aesthetic, providing a down-to-earth and humble approach to the diary-like songwriting.

“Right from the outset, we wanted to invoke a sense of nostalgia with the video, but we also wanted it to feel authentic,” she says. “And while we had bigger ideas for the video at first, Chris and I were looking to just simply recreate the night we enjoyed when we wrote the song. What you see in the video is just us doing what we’d normally do in the span of an evening. Shooting the video in a candid style helps lend an air of authenticity to it.”
