Establishing the mood with a high spiritual quotient manifesting as a dimensional soundscape with a hand pan, cerebral folk fiddle and intricate percussion elements, MILYAM opens Intimacy with intrigue and elegance. She shares poetic prowess with atmospheric vocals as she sings, “It’s been so long, I can’t say in words, can’t say in words…”
We are immediately enthralled by MILYAM‘s energy and sonic universe. The opus expands with a gated frequency as we trip into the main body of the song. Astral flutes guide us as MILYAM shares notions of sensuality.
Intimacy holds a cinematic allure, perfect for a range of sync placements, perhaps an episode of Fatal Seduction, or Elite on Netflix. Speaking on the release, MILYAM shares that Intimacy is “designed for the velvet shadows of the night.” Speaking on her unique sound, the self-realized and entrepreneurial artiste adds, “It is a cinematic invitation to a new global era of R&B.”
There is no doubt that MILYAM is a visionary artist who is fast becoming known for crafting a refined, minimalist aesthetic that fuses deep emotional soul with atmospheric, “old money” sophistication.
She has already been recognized for her captivating vocal identity with her catalogue being preserved in the U.S. Library of Congress. MILYAM is also building an independent creative empire through her own label and visual storytelling platform, MILYAM EMPIRE.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Intimacy to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream MILYAM‘s exquisite, growing discography, including Love Me to Infinity, Dream, and How We Fly.
