Just eighteen years old and already writing songs with genuinely great hooks and fearlessly unforgiving lyrics. Mia Mathilda is intriguing, a long-form story-teller and pianist with a deeply complex lyrical approach, and all of this is highlighted brilliantly, through the boldly unique but piercingly satisfying Radical Acceptance.
Based out of Germany, Mia Mathilda captivates with the extensive and wave-like melodies and lyrics of her verses, with a voice and piano pairing that naturally intoxicate. Then we build through the intensity, the grit and pain of the story, the passion of the delivery being clearly intertwined with the memories and realism of the concept. And after all of this, the simple, unforgettable and scornful resolve of the chorus is absolutely the icing on the cake.
Radical Acceptance screams out on behalf of those trapped in toxic relationships, gifting listeners a sense of possibility or even just an outlet. The melody, the harmonies, the voice, the simplicity of the piano production, the lyrics – everything is quite perfectly captured here, and the more I listen, the more engaging and impressive the song is.
Mia Mathilda is a breath of fresh air in the modern organic pop realm, and Radical Acceptance is both an alternative gem, and an absolute anthem.
