Miu Haiti Unloads “Unphased”
Earlier this spring, multilingual rising star Miu Haiti released the sensational record, “Is This Love.” The song was accompanied by a lovely music video and was met with critical acclaim. The songstress returns to kick off the winter and close out the year with her sophomore album, “Unphased.” The eight-track album features the lead single, “Is This Love,” along with two other fan favorites: “In ‘Em Face” and “Real Ones.” The LP is chock full of sounds that borrows from Hip-Hop/Rap, Pop, R&B/Soul, and everything in-between.
“Unphased” is Miu Haiti’s first album since 2014, and she brought the heat. “Unphased” begins with “Chocolate Candy,” a seductive and moody song that is all about locking eyes with someone in a club. It’s about the feeling that gives you and the energy that can be felt in the room, whether it be good, bad, loving, or jealous. The second track is “Is This Love,” an electric song with a more up-tempo vibe. “Is This Love” is about the difficulties and obstacles that come with love. The beginning is always great, but the real tests start down the line, and it can be hard to navigate at times. Miu Haiti’s beautiful lyrics mixed with her angelic vocals really get you in your feels.
The third track is self-produced and called, “If I Call.” It starts out with peaceful guitar strumming followed by light vocalizations. This song is much slower than the others so far and also more stripped-down. There’s a sense of rawness and vulnerability laced in this song that is refreshing to the ears. “If I Call” is about the hard part of love, the breakups, and the damage it does to your heart. With all highs come lows, and this song really highlights that in a beautiful way. The fourth track titled, “Flip It,” is a completely different vibe, and features techno and futuristic musical elements. “Flip It” is a motivational anthem that is all about finding and owning your power. It’s about knowing what makes you, you and never being ashamed of that. The fifth track titled, “Real Ones,” is another upbeat song that is all about knowing who your true people are and only surrounding yourself with the best. Miu Haiti really goes off on this song specifically, and you can hear the power in her voice – she means what she says.
“In ‘Em Face” is the sixth song on “Unphased” and is full of sass. The attitude in Miu Haiti’s voice really makes this song stand apart from the others on the album. The seventh track, “Filon,” is performed in Miu Haiti’s native language, Creole. Miu Haiti’s ability to perform in a variety of different languages really helps set her apart from other artists. Finally, the eighth and final song on the album is “Tool Late.” This eclectic Pop song does a great job of pulling the entire album together. “Too Late” has a heavy beat to it and features Hip-Hop/Rap elements that we haven’t seen yet.
“Unphased” is set up in a way that tells the story of Miu Haiti’s personal experiences. The vulnerability shown by Miu Haiti in her music is what makes her great, and her unique sound is refreshing. Love is not easy, but whatever stage of a relationship you are in currently has a song to go with it thanks to Miu Haiti. Go on a journey of love and stream Miu Haiti’s new album “Unphased” today!

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
