MICAH's latest soul-stirring single, "Glimmer," is a powerful, vibrant track that clings to the subtleties of hope, joy, and feeling. In her search for inner peace, MICAH wears her heart on her sleeve, bearing her vulnerability for all of her fans to see. Repeating the lyrics, "I'm praying on a glimmer" and "I want to feel again," MICAH emphasizes both an intense longing to feel and feelings of helplessness when it comes to fully embracing those lighter moments. Her passion for the craft and her ability to connect with various audiences through her creative narratives are what make her such a unique gem and inspiration within an ever-changing genre; MICAH poetically puts into words what we feel deep in our hearts. Be it hope, be it joy, or be it feeling, MICAH yearns for something pure, a raw desire for the "glimmer" in an unrelenting world; she urges us to cling to every fleeting moment in our day-to-day lives.
"Glimmer" is a masterfully layered piece full of candid lyrics and impactful instrumentals that evoke so many raw emotions in the listener. MICAH catches our attention with a sentimental guitar in the introduction, allowing the strings to linger woefully and impassionedly in the background for the rest of the track. Entrancing us with every lyric, MICAH's voice is effortlessly breathtaking. Her rich vocals command our ears in a subtle way, ebbing in and out of dramatic moments throughout the song. The passion MICAH puts behind the delivery of each line is almost tangible. A minute into the track there's a stark shift into passionate strums, drums, and a vibey bass line that mirrors the growing emotional intensity of the track. The fleeting bridge we hear at the end of the song is simply ethereal, as MICAH repeats the words "I want to feel again," a sentiment that all of us have shared at some of our lowest moments. "Glimmer" not only captures MICAH's complex desires but also conveys how having hope is what keeps us going, how yearning means that we are alive.
