Mykel - 'Love DD'
Who loves being designated driver? LA based singer-songwriter Mykel rejects roles as an emotional rehab facility on new alt-pop single ‘Love DD’.
The track is an unexpected change of direction - combining her self-empowering pop / R&B vocal range with a more darker sounding production - pushing into an almost cinematic area.
The single leads the charge for the artist’s new sonically spooky dramatic pop to come. According to Mykel, “This release represents a clean slate for me as an artist both from a sound and image perspective. I spent a lot of time dimming the badass side of myself to chase relatability as an artist and while I’m very proud of all the art that has brought me to this point, I’m done doing that and will be running with a new, clearer vision from here on out. For that reason I’ve started an entirely new Spotify profile, new social handles, and overall am just really leaning into this era as a reintroduction to me as a creator.”
