Indira May ‘Imaginary Problems’ Is a Masterpiece of Modern Storytelling
Indira May is an artist who refuses to be boxed in. Her latest release, Imaginary Problems, is a testament to her fearless approach to music-making, blending elements of jazz, indie, and electronic genres into a cohesive yet unpredictable sound. Each of the five tracks feels like a standalone narrative, but together they create a mosaic of emotion, experimentation, and raw honesty.
From the moment ‘don’t feed the sharks’ begins, it’s clear this EP is something special. The track’s psychedelic synths and entrancing vocals draw you in, while its lyrical themes invite reflection.
The EP then moves into heavier emotional territory with ‘childsplay’, a track that explores the struggles of chronic illness. The minimalist, eerie production mirrors the rawness of Indira’s lyrics, making for a hauntingly beautiful listening experience. By sharing her personal story, she connects with listeners on a deeply human level.
But, Imaginary Problems, isn’t all somber introspection. Tracks like ‘STOP’ and ‘dance tonight’ showcase Indira’s ability to balance emotional depth with sonic playfulness. ‘STOP’ offers a hypnotic blend of dub-inspired horns and ethereal vocals, while ‘dance tonight’ is a jazzy, upbeat escape with sharp, witty lyrics and irresistible energy. Together, they highlight her knack for crafting music that’s as diverse as it is cohesive.
Ending with ‘you & charlie’, a ballad about the complexities of addiction, the EP leaves listeners with much to think about. Indira’s storytelling is poignant and impactful, weaving a narrative that lingers long after the final note. With, Imaginary Problems, Indira May has not only proven herself as a musical innovator but also as a powerful voice in modern storytelling. It’s a bold, beautiful collection that demands attention and deserves every bit of acclaim.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
