With IS THIS WHAT I SEE?, Myah cements herself as one of pop’s most intriguing new voices. The EP is a stunning blend of 2010’s synthpop, alternative rock, and moody cinematic storytelling, each track unfolding like a scene from a meticulously crafted film. While some may recognize her from her viral storytime TikTok series, this release proves she’s far more than just a familiar face—she’s a force to be reckoned with in modern music.

The brilliance of IS THIS WHAT I SEE? lies in its ability to seamlessly explore different genres while remaining a cohesive, immersive experience. The production is lush and layered, filled with shimmering synths, brooding basslines, and atmospheric textures that create a sense of depth and intrigue. But the true star? Myah’s voice. Her vocal delivery is haunting yet intimate, floating effortlessly between moments of vulnerability and power.

"I’ll Be Your Light" is a dark, brooding standout, draped in heavy synths and an almost gothic allure. The track feels like wandering through a neon-lit city at midnight—moody, electric, and emotionally charged.

"Flames" takes a more dreamlike, reverberant approach, with ethereal vocals and slow-burning intensity. It’s cinematic in the way it builds, creating an atmosphere that’s both melancholic and deeply moving.

However, the rest of the EP never lingers in one place too long—each track adds a new dimension, whether it’s soaring melodies, intricate lyricism, or genre-bending instrumentation.

As a precursor to her upcoming debut album i don’t know what i’m feeling (set for June 2025), IS THIS WHAT I SEE? feels like a bold introduction—a statement that Myah is here to disrupt expectations. It’s modern yet nostalgic, sleek yet raw, and above all, an experience that demands to be felt as much as heard.

If this EP is any indication, Myah isn’t just telling her story—she’s crafting an entire cinematic universe. To blend so much into one 27 minute record isn’t an easy feat, yet she’s undeniably stuck the landing into something original, fresh, and worth multiple listens.
