Fall in Love with Miu Haiti’s “Is This Love”
Miu Haiti unleashes a new single, “Is This Love,” accompanied by a music video. “Is This Love” is a change of pace from her previous hard-hitting records, “Real Ones” and “In ‘Em Face,” which collectively amassed about 200,000 streams and views. “Is This Love” demonstrates her versatility and puts her vocal range to the forefront.
“Is This Love” is fairly self-explanatory through its title; however, matters of the heart are rarely that simple. Miu Haiti dives deep into the raw emotion of love and pragmatic idea of love. She perfectly depicts the complex feelings and thoughts that come after the honeymoon phase of a relationship. “When you’re dating someone that you really like who is playing all the right cards, you are subjected to many feelings.” Miu Haiti continues, “The initial curiosity, lust, and infatuation soon give way to admiration, and one seeks to break away from this bewitchment to ponder, in a state of confusion: ‘Is this love?'”
Her booming, sultry voice compliments the eclectic Pop and R&B/Soul ballad well. Not only does she wow listeners from a vocal performance perspective, she also must be given her flowers for her penmanship in “Is This Love.” From the catchy chorus to the melodious harmonies, Miu Haiti showcases her songwriting prowess.
Her previous single, “Real Ones,” was self-produced, but for “Is This Love,” she reunited with Haitian producer Nice Beat (Andy Irwin Charles). She enlisted her former tourmate, Zach Hughes, to mix the masterpiece. The simple yet captivating music video was the artistic vision of Canadian artistic director Ralph Leroy. His vision was carried out by videographer Ryan J. Ardito. The music video was filmed in Purfek TV’s studio, and video director Storm provided additional directorial guidance and was the final piece of the international dream team that Miu Haiti assembled. The sensual, serene visual encapsulates the fluttering feelings expressed within the track and fits the overarching theme of the record.
“Is This Love” is set to open the floodgates for more music from the songstress. Miu Haiti has a lot more in store for the rest of the year. “Is This Love” is a prelude of what’s to come as she plans to release an EP later this year. For the time being, fall head over heels in love with “Is This Love.”
Miu Haiti’s biography
Genre-bending singer-songwriter Miu Haiti draws her eclectic musical influences from Pop and R&B with a Hip-Hop edge. She was born and raised in Haiti, but is now based in the United States. Music has always been in her blood, being the daughter of a saxophonist. Miu Haiti is a renaissance woman – her versatile artistic expression is influenced by her love of fashion, makeup artistry, performing arts, and interior design. Her ability to compose music and sing in various languages (English, Creole, French, and Spanish) allows her to connect with a global audience, and has driven collaborations with arrangers, talents, and artists from Saint Lucia, Puerto Rico, Tanzania, United States, Canada, France, and Haiti. Miu Haiti has remained very prolific since the release of her debut album, “Unexpected,” in 2014. She has been featured in various media outlets. She has garnered a sizable fanbase with nearly 500,000 followers across social media platforms, and she has accumulated well over one million streams and views. Continuously evolving, 2022 saw the releases of her highly replayed song and music video, “In ‘Em Face,” and first-ever self-produced single, “Real Ones.” Her 2022 catalog was just a glimpse of what is on the horizon for 2023. Her latest single, “Is This Love,” shows yet a different side of the multifaceted talent and gives fans a taste of the quality and masterfulness that can be expected from her upcoming EP slated to drop later this year.
As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
