The Madrid based, Virginia born indie folk artist shines on her heartfelt latest single
Songs of love and betrayal are commonplace in country music, with artists often using their chosen craft to lament about mistakes, reflections and the cruel twists of fate that have left them drinking alone in the wake of a relationship. Michi‘s latest single ‘Whiskey’ offers something that country music has less of, a track about the end of a lesbian relationship that ended in heartbreak when the artist found out she was being cheated on.
Aside from this, a lot of the classic hallmarks of country music that we have touched upon are still there, its catchy singalong melodies, relatable lyrics, and the honest admissions of drinking alone thinking about the person that you miss and wondering what they’re doing. All relationships carry the same weight and hit in the same way when they blossom and when they end, and this track does a great job of highlighting how there is space for queer love stories in country and adjacent genres, and that it is this sense of rawness, vulnerability and honesty that makes them feel so special and hit you hard as a listener, regardless of who you’re thinking of when you listen to it or what gender they are.
