Michael Aldag - 'Arrogance'

Michael Aldag is stating his claim to be one of the most hotly tipped acts of 2021 with his new single ‘Arrogance’. 

Hailing from Liverpool, a city enriched in its musical history, Aldag has taken elements of that history into his own act with an injection of colour to form a unique brand of bedroom pop that is grounded by its relatability and confessionalism.

The 19-year-old’s creativity has seen him transcend music already with stakes in both fashion and social media, but music is certainly this young man’s focus and that does show in how much Aldag puts into his music and his lyrics which narrate a young man finding his way in the world. 

That was epitomised on previous single ‘Conversation’ at the end of last year as Aldag spoke of one-way conversations and the eventual breakdown in relationships. ‘Arrogance’ could not be further from that, as we are treated to an alt pop smash that at a granular level is speaking of the importance of self-love and being confident to back yourself. 

This deliberate juxtaposition brilliantly showcases powerful vocals with brilliant production that leaves you shellshocked with every passing listen. ‘Arrogance’ seems an appropriate release for Michael Aldag, as this is someone who should back themselves to be one of this year’s breakout stars. 

‘Arrogance’, the new single from Michael Aldag is available now on all major streaming platforms.
