"Crystalline" is the stunning debut single from 20-year-old newcomer Mhairi (pronounced man-ree).
A haunting and melancholy offering, "Crystalline" finds the UK based Mhairi's manipulated and hypnotic vocals simmering above the glitchy electronic production. This is a track with a wide range of influences (R&B, pop and electronica just to name a few) that's both mysterious yet familiar with it's dark pop sensibilities.
On the tracks lyrical themes, Mhairi had this to say:
"Crystalline' explores the feeling of being lost inside your own mind, and how introversion can be a detriment to your sense of self and the relationships you have. The lyrics follow an internal dialogue, and shows a kind of struggle between two parts of my mind - one that needs to indulge in being alone, and one that needs to be anywhere else other than inside my own head."
Expect more intriguing tunes from Mhairi as the year continues.
