Los Angeles-based artist myah stirs with a synth-led pop and rock enchantment all through IS THIS WHAT I SEE?, a memorable new EP with themes of affection and existentialism. “I wrestle so much with existentialism and the way time strikes too quick,” myah says. “I miss the reminiscences of the previous so much, and I usually surprise what life can be like if it moved somewhat slower. This EP is my method of capturing these emotions.”
Opening the EP, “with you” bridges breezy guitars and dazzling synth thrives inside a hooky “I don’t wanna miss you,” admission. “Will we lastly kiss?” the vocals proceed throughout a dreamier part, traversing seamlessly into the aforementioned hook.

Elsewhere, “flames” stands out for its evolution from lush intrigue into cathartic invigoration; we lined that observe extra in-depth final yr, right here.

Serene vocal layers and jangling guitars traverse inside a compelling soundscape. EP finale “say it” weaves vocal introspection and mellow piano pulses to begin, infusing sharp synth atmospherics because the vocal momentum escalates — admitting “I misplaced all of it, and I’m prepared to fall,” because the catchy rhythms infuse. An acknowledgment that “it’s over,” and a drive to “exit by myself,” reveals alongside, furthering the discharge’s themes of affection and existentialism throughout the lens of 1 breaking free from prior strife.
