Swedish artist Myie makes an electrifying return with their thumping new single, "Gross Romantics," an impelling look into the emotional maze of their forthcoming album. "Gross Romantics" is an atmosphere, a confession, and a battle cry for messy love, and all three come packed in a gritty, sharp-edged, aggressive envelope that refuses to take no for an answer.
The production snaps to life raw but smooth, spare, and immersive. It's the type of sound that doesn't try to be everything at once, and because of that, it hits harder. There's an undercurrent of unease, like the buzz of neon at 3 AM or the sting of a memory you're not quite ready to relinquish. But it is paired with moments of surprising beauty, just enough light to pull you through the darkness.
Myie wavers between biting cynicism and profound vulnerability with no small amount of poetic precision. The lines land like small jolts, witty, personal, and often darkly comic. "Gross Romantics" sounds like an overheard inner monologue at an emotional breaking point, making you want to hear more. It's the type of songwriting that is unflinching in its honesty, unafraid to stare messy emotions right in the face and spin them into art.
