Rising alt-pop storyteller myah returns with ‘dodging bullets’, a searing follow-up to her viral track ‘the lobby’. Known for weaving personal narratives into lush, emotionally-charged soundscapes, the South Florida native doubles down on her brand of vulnerable cool, blurring the line between diary entry and indie movie soundtrack.
Where ‘the lobby’ offered a behind-the-scenes look at romantic disillusionment, ‘dodging bullets’ charges into the aftermath; fierce, raw, and radiating defiance. myah’s voice cuts through with a soft but urgent clarity, framed by brooding guitar textures and a percussive heartbeat that feels both intimate and cinematic.
The production leans heavily into her signature blend of pop-punk inflection and dreamy synth haze, evoking the emotional grandeur of bands like Foxing or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs while still grounding the track in a modern alt-pop palette. There’s grit, but also elegance, the kind of ache you feel in the chest rather than just hear through headphones.
Lyrically, myah trades specifics for resonance, crafting lines that land with the precision of someone who’s been burned but isn’t afraid to step back into the fire. She steers clear of pronouns, making ‘dodging bullets’ feel like a mirror, reflecting whoever’s listening and whoever’s been there.
Coming off the emotionally rich terrain of her EP ‘IS THIS WHAT I SEE?’, myah’s latest work signals evolution. This is a deeper dive into the emotional universe she’s been steadily building. If ‘dodging bullets’ is any indication, myah’s debut album ‘i don’t know what i’m feeling’ will be a world you walk into and feel everything at once.
