Dance-pop crescendos and floor-filler synths build an EDM and anthemic pop classic, only this time it’s with a twist of powerfully juxtaposed sadness and despair. Mr. Miserable adds a unique angle to the anthemic EDM realm, with the addictive euphoria of LOVE MY MISERY.
Featuring artwork that aptly reinforces the countering elements of the song, LOVE MY MISERY surrounds a melancholic protagonist with soaring celebratory synths, drums and vocal passion, presenting a crisp AI vocal lead of colourful vibrancy and warmth, which, if English wasn’t your first language, could well be construed as a genuine party-anthem of optimism.
The song goes on to explore this idea of constantly feeling the despair of modern life and the darkness of the self. It’s incredibly relatable, an unusual walk through the weight of depression, and the music is strangely or perhaps cleverly opposed to the very sentiments at the heart of the song. It’s uplifting to listen to, comforting and intoxicating, and the mix is brilliantly timeless – drawing upon those early 2000s dance-pop hits that continue to light up the airwaves and raves of the modern world.
Mr. Miserable has a name, subject matter and visual style that’s set to hit certain circles with clear impact, and LOVE MY MISERY is a fine introduction to that.
