UK songwriter and artist Mikyla Cara reignites the smoothness and delicacy of nostalgic RnB, with the colourful and appreciative new single If u don’t mind.
Built around a likable arrangement of varied keys, vocal adlibs, jazz hi-hats and warming bass, If u don’t mind delivers a songwriting strength elevated by its long-form verse to snappy hook contrast. The whole thing is easy to listen to and escape within, but there’s also a humble degree of rising anticipation as things roll along, and the final drop into the hook is a big moment because of this.
Naturally an earworm but also non-intrusive and quite creatively refreshing in everything from production to performance, If u don’t mind appears to almost ignore the sound of the current mainstream in favour of Mikyla Cara’s own artistic identity and musical preference. That authenticity is key, and the humility and heart of If u don’t mind shine brightly in light of it.
