The release is an interesting insight into the artist’s unique sonic world.
On their captivating and other-worldly debut single ‘Letters’, emerging non-binary singer-songwriter and producer MUCANA showcases the unique tones and brooding, atmospheric style of their sound, creating an energy and an aura that feels entirely their own.
The track has this moody, seductive feel to it throughout, amplified by a slow-burning electronic soundscape and the artist’s distinctive vocal style. The lyrics surround themes of hurt and abandonment, with a narrative surrounding being ghosted by a friend, with the disconnected, cold nature of the vocals doing a great job of eliciting these feelings and portraying the story through vibes just as much as the words. This sound feels experimental and unsettling while establishing the unique and atmosphere-heavy sonic world of MUCANA, and it will be interesting to see where the artist takes the project next.
