skaiwater's new mini-album, #mia, serves as a thematic continuation of their previous work, marrying robust elements of stadium rock with vibrant 808 beats. The production is anchored in the emotional depths of love and longing, as explored in tracks that weave through themes of desire and distress. The rapper, having relocated to LA for greater potential, channels their experiences into music that resonates well in America. While the sounds are danceable, they are underscored by a profound sense of yearning and a fractured identity, particularly articulated through songs like 'pop' that blur the lines between desperation and beauty.
Their new mini-album, #mia (short for Manic in America), acts as a spiritual successor to their lovelorn breakout, using stadium rock and radio pop as the skeleton for full-blooded, 808-laden furor.
Beneath the music's undeniable danceability lies a fractured spirit, highlighting their ongoing struggle with love and acceptance.
From the jump, a chiptuned choir harmonizes through skai's plight like extras circling the protagonist in a musical, making the listening experience intensely emotional.
The success of 'rain,' a mutated R&B ballad that was both irresistible and inescapable last year, set the tone for the epistolary heartache of their acclaimed LP.
