Kendra Muecke showcases the unique vocal tone and long-form melodies of her style, with the introspective and distinct single Manic Pixie Nightmare.
Somewhat free-flowing in its verse-setup and tune, Manic Pixie Nightmare delivers the familiar line ‘Not all who wander are lost, but all who are lost wander’, repeatedly throughout. It’s a resounding moment, but elsewhere the song follows its own unpredictable melody and fragments of reflection on losing a phone and subsequently seeking to break free from societal expectations.
It’s a bold take, a haunting presentation, with a likable production to back up what is a decidedly recognisable voice. Kendra Muecke marches to the beat of her own drum, and that’s a rare quality in modern pop.
Featuring a home-made video shot on the LA subway, with lyrics ranging from the literal to the abstract, Manic Pixie Nightmare introduces the Kendra Muecke contemplation and tone in an intriguing way.
