Miso Extra
Since the release of her debut single, “Adventures of Tricky N Duke”, the Japanese- British singer and producer has made her signature an instinctually infectious journey through everything from tongue-in-cheek rap to sultry R&B, tuned-up hyperpop and dancefloor electronica, with each wandering sound guided by her expert ear. Miso has garnered acclaim for her playful dual-language lyrics, languorously flowing over debut EP Great Taste and the critically acclaimed follow-up MSG, and she has also performed with the likes of fellow musical experimenters Thundercat, Marc Rebillet and Rejjie Snow. Yet, it’s the release of her debut album, Earcandy, that now cements her status as an irrepressible and confident new talent, capable of transforming the exciting, spontaneous moment of creation into delight for the ears.
Across 12 tracks, co-produced by Miso herself and featuring collaborations from DJ Boring, Metronomy, AK Paul, Samo, Tyson and MICHELLE, Miso takes us on a journey of lovelorn vulnerability, growth and self-empowerment, traversing the K-Pop and UK Garage references of the earworming “POP” to the lovesick lyricism and bass-heavy R&B beats of “Good Kisses”, synth-house swing of “Certified”, and reverb-laden ‘80s melodics of “Ghostly”. “I wanted to make a self-aware pop record, full of the songs I’d want to listen to when I was growing up,” she says. “It’s about growing through your mistakes and not being afraid to get things wrong. There are some deep messages in there but it’s surrounded by sweet earcandy – that spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down.”
