Perfectly intertwining the dreamy and the clean-cut, myqo delivers an indie rock single with a delicate warmth, for the beautifully crafted We can’t be strangers after this.
Leading with electric guitar riffs and a crisp tone akin to the indie rock sound of the noughties, the new release goes on to weave in a softly-presented female vocal, and a pop-rock groove that naturally lifts the mood. The melody is hopeful, the subject matter intimate but relatable, and the overall presentation of the tune offers a natural earworm as it rolls along.
Reflecting on drunken connections and the excitement of chance encounters, We can’t be strangers after this promises a romanticised and rather hopeful take on the brief unity found between strangers when the circumstances are just right. It’s an engaging and accessible storyline, elevated by a smooth and colourful indie arrangement, which effectively helps take the edge off a potentially complex situation.
Ultimately gentle melodically and for its subtle harmonies, the new myqo single appears to bring together a touch of something Taylor Swift-like – or Vanessa Carlton-esque for the longer-term industry fans – but the musicality injects that always impressive myqo creative touch, and the result is a memorable, likable and uplifting new single, both organic and energising as it pours through the airwaves.
A finely produced indie pop release, with a certain humility and realism to both its style and substance that’s refreshing to let play. myqo’s We can’t be strangers after this releases today on all platforms.
