Multi-talented artist, producer, singer, and songwriter Miriam Love released an all-inclusive electronic musical trip album from Malibu, US on the 14th of October called ‘All in (the mixes)’. As an artist, she seeks to change the narrative around the familiarity of EDM, believing that it could be used for wellness and communication, something beyond just entertainment purposes. Her core essence is characterized by intricate melodies all led by captivating elements in an unorthodox mix of vocals, beat-making, and storytelling. One of her groundbreaking successes is her being featured on the hit single by Vitalic “Waiting For The Stars to Align” which brought 17 million streams across digital platforms. The single was also used by the giant Car manufacturer Peugeot in an advertising campaign.
Most of the music in this album requires a beach cabana and then a cool club to jazz your life up. Miriam love’s approach to her new album is very enriching sonically. It’s the kind of album you wanna press play and keep playing till the end with no interruptions as an escape into sweet and dynamic melodies of a song about feeling your best when you’re with somebody you’re really into. The album is 9 remixes of her track ‘All in’’, A sky-soaring song about the ecstasy of being in love that makes you feel so good. The vocals are the main attraction of the track, with the playful, high-pitched, and angelic voice of Miriam. Each track in the album uses her vocals in different ways along with a range of different musical styles to create a unique version of these emotions.
The overall sound of the album is so upbeat, magical, chill, and funky. You have to get up and dance, open the windows and forget about everything and just live and feel the happy moments in life. Most of the soundscapes are chill houses and deep houses, with minimal techno, tropical, and some ethereal musical tones. Most of the remixes can make it as club music, and some even commercial pop. The rhythmic pace is generally from medium to fast. The musical arrangement is so rich and is electronically challenging because the album generally follows a hidden happy and upbeat vibe that can be achieved by limiting the instruments and sound effects which creates a much more creative space for the song. There are a lot of different percussion sound effects that usually set the pace and tone of the beat and the intensity has a wide range, and piano, horn, and bass sound effects for melody. There are a lot of notable sounds just laughing snippets, fun electronic sounds that quirk up the music, jazzy tunes, and even 70’s guitar.
The order of songs is not in a particular order which is what is so great about it. It’s just a pure listening experience of sound and emotions. You cannot miss how chill and happy this album is.
