Michi – Sugarbaby

Michi by Haley Appell

Michi by Haley Appell

Relatively new alt-pop artist Michi continues to dazzle us with every single release. The L.A based songstress returns with her latest offering ‘Sugarbaby’, lifted off her forthcoming debut EP due later this year.

‘Sugarbaby’ is seductively catchy, drawing us in from the opening moments, and leaving you unable to think about anything else. Doo-Wop inspired electric guitar licks and inaudible chatter ease you into Michi’s artistry before you are blown away by her dulcet tones and unique delivery.

Speaking of the release Michi shares,

‘Sugarbaby’ is a sentimental ode to expressing love and admiration for that special someone,” Guerrero shares about the song. “While the task of creating during quarantine was not easy, the song for me was an escape into a colorful place, and the chance to express adoration of a lover in all their beauty and light.”

The music video, dreamt up with the help of Michi’s creative director Haley Appell, is an invitation into Michi’s pastel-coloured world, replete with velvet jumpsuits, metallic electric guitars, ice cream, and of course, sugar, baby.

LCAW – Staring at the Sun

LCAW

LCAW (aka 22 year old Leon Weber) is sharing an interesting message in his new track ‘Staring at the Sun’, which features the lush vocal tones of New York City-based singer/songwriter, Sophie Hintze.

LCAW says,

“‘Staring At The Sun’ has a clear message – If you feel trapped in a place or a situation you need to break free, pack up your things and just go. The Sun is quite symbolic in this picture, on the one hand it stands for hope, a better future, adventure; and on the other hand it is a burden. Staring directly at the sun for too long blinds you, leaving you on a path without navigation. The lyrics embrace a loss of direction. Hypnotised by yellow lines, moving faster than the speed of light, renegades without a plan. In the end it’ll be worth it.”

It’s out now via Ultra Records / Columbia Records.

Despite shows at Reading and Leeds Festivals, the trio’s agenda is to make their fans dance and not mosh, and it’s quite understandable that this would happen with their calypso-infused offerings.

The new song will form part of the band’s debut EP ‘Movers & Shapers’ which is due out later this year.
