Brazilian beats and intoxicating melodic flavours to match – The St. Missy EP captures a groove unrivalled at present, from the moment the addictive layers and anthemic presence of RAKÁTA begins to play.
Perfectly arranged and produced, blending multiple traits and instruments for that salsa-esque movement and the snappy vocal threads uniting melody and rap, RAKÁTA introduces both the project and St. Missy as clearly versatile and engaging. The sound connects for its familiar flow, yet impresses for its originality of hook and character.
These strengths continue throughout the grittier bass-led tones of DESAPARECIDO. Quirky guitar and a fearless fusion of styles and languages backs up a fiercely confident vocal lead from St. Missy. Meanwhile melody and classic Hip Hop roots walk hand-in-hand through this distinct and catchy progression.
The vibe hits harder still for the intensely distorted fuzz of EXPENSIVA – St. Missy leans into the contemporary scene but also backs it up with another culturally diverse expression of artistry unique to her own journey. The track is heavy but rains down with that same fluidity and personality as ever.
Wrapping things up is the unexpectedly melodic, almost nineties dance euphoria of the unignorable single REAL. Four chords and a rising sense of anticipation; classic keys, dreamy synths. Then on the top-line, the fastest vocal outpouring yet – a crescendo of bars that elevates the pulse all the more so, and draws focus one last time to the sheer confidence and flair of St. Missy as both writer and performer.
In short, The St. Missy EP is precisely what its name implies – a defiant showcase of an artist carving out her own lane, blending intensity, melody, and flow to faultless levels of connection, and offering four simple yet striking hits along the way.
