Blending shimmering synth-pop with raw, introspective storytelling, myah returns with ‘IS THIS WHAT I SEE?’, an eight-track journey through love, loss, and the relentless passage of time. Steeped in 2010s-inspired synth textures and alt-rock flourishes, the EP unfolds like a carefully curated film soundtrack with each song emulating snapshot of fleeting moments, longing, and existential reflection.
From the dreamy, Talking Heads-inspired opener ‘with you’ to the emotionally-charged ‘i’ll be your light’, myah wastes no time in setting the tone for an EP that feels both warm and inviting. Tracks like ‘notice you’ and ‘summer love’ capture the tension and excitement of romantic uncertainty, while ‘flames’ and ‘lost at sea’ lean into heartbreak and resilience, weaving in cinematic references to Holes and Titanic that familiar layer of nostalgia myah always looks to spark.
As the EP moves into ‘running’, a poignant meditation on the overwhelming speed of life, before closing with the emotionally raw ‘say it’, myah completes a full-circle journey of introspection and growth, something that has become quintessential to her growth as an artist these last few years.
Beyond the music itself, it is myah’s storytelling truly sets her apart. Having already cultivated a dedicated following through her viral TikTok series and podcast features, she brings an authenticity that breaks beyond the typical pop landscape. Her willingness to translate personal experiences into atmospheric, immersive songs makes ‘IS THIS WHAT I SEE?’ such an emotional time capsule. If this new collection is any indication, myah is shaping up to be one of the most compelling voices in the modern synth-pop arena.
