I just discovered this talented artist Milyam and her new single “Intimacy”. I played the song once… then let it loop without really planning to. There’s something unique and soulful in the way Milyam holds the track together that makes it easy to stay. The beat moves slowly. Like it’s dragging its feet on purpose and her voice just sits right on top of it.
Her tone is what pulled me in first. It’s soft but has a bit of edge to it and that mix keeps things interesting. She has great control and that makes the whole thing stick more than if she tried to push too hard. The chorus is the part I kept waiting for again. It’s simple, easy to catch and it stays in your head after it passes. I caught myself repeating bits of it without even realizing.
The production of this song is creative and spaced out. It’s smooth and you can actually hear everything. Her voice, the beat, the small details in the background. It gives the song room to breathe without losing its shape and that’s the secret.
She has amazing confidence and passion. She doesn’t drift away from the mood she sets at the start. It holds that same late-night feeling all the way through and that’s probably why I didn’t skip it. I enjoyed this more than I expected. It’s the kind of track you don’t rush. You just let it play again. I’ll be keeping this one around and I already went back to it a few times.
