A New Chapter Unfolds for MICHELLE with an EP That Captures Growth and Creative Evolution

In a significant musical development, the New York-based collective MICHELLE has unveiled their latest EP, “GLOW,” distributed through Atlantic Records and Transgressive Records in the UK. Released on February 8th, 2023, “GLOW” encapsulates a fresh era for MICHELLE, highlighting their artistic evolution and the depth of their collective creativity.

The EP, acclaimed for introducing a “new era of MICHELLE” by V Magazine, features a mix of previously released singles such as “GLOW,” “AGNOSTIC,” and “NEVER AGAIN,” alongside the standout track “ON THE LINE.” MICHELLE describes “ON THE LINE” as a heartfelt narrative born out of their touring experiences, capturing the essence of distant love and the solace found in a simple phone call.Michelle Sparkles With The Release Of Their New Ep &Quot;Glow&Quot;, Yours Truly, News, May 2, 2024

Critics have lauded “GLOW” for its rich R&B pop texture, with The FADER noting its deep roots in the vibrant essence of New York City, while Entertainment Weekly celebrates the EP for delivering the soothing, refreshing melodies our digital age yearns for. Elle Magazine compliments the EP for its blend of “crooning, dance-worthy tracks” and “euphoric R&B melodies,” underpinned by emotionally charged lyrics that strike a chord.

The EP kicks off with its title track “GLOW,” setting the tone with its soft, pinball machine-like instrumentals that evolve into rich, harmonious layers. It then delves into “DNR,” a poignant ballad exploring love’s profound impacts, followed by “ON THE LINE,” which showcases a more acoustic and intimate side of the collective. The themes of longing and heartbreak continue through “AGNOSTIC” and culminate in “NEVER AGAIN,” where gentle xylophone notes evoke a sense of nostalgia.

MICHELLE, a group known for its diverse background as predominantly POC and queer members, showcases their unique blend of talents through “GLOW.” Sofia D’Angelo, Julian Kaufman, Charlie Kilgore, Layla Ku, Emma Lee, and Jamee Lockard bring their individual strengths to the fore, creating a harmonious blend of vocal and instrumental mastery.

Following their highly praised album “AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS,” “GLOW” stands as a testament to MICHELLE’s genre-defying approach and their ability to traverse musical landscapes from funky R&B to heartfelt ballads and beyond. Their journey has seen them share stages with notable acts like Mitski, Arlo Parks, and Gus Dapperton, and grace festivals such as Governors Ball, Outside Lands, and Lollapalooza.

As MICHELLE continues to leave an indelible mark on the music scene, “GLOW” serves as a beacon of their creative maturity, promising more mesmerizing work in the future. Fans and new listeners alike are invited to experience the captivating world of MICHELLE through the “GLOW” EP, a reflection of their journey and a glimpse into their evolving musical narrative.
