Alcohol tends to engender actions and words that otherwise would be absent, and we think exactly that fact was the breeding ground for Los Angeles singer-songwriter Miya Folick on "I Got Drunk". Her “I guess I’ll write you a love song, because I got drunk and told you how I really feel about you” opening line to her latest single that we're premiering today should evidence that clearly enough. The decision to take a more pronounced musical direction than her folk-inspired catalog would suggest is one undoubtedly inspired, and though her track could have worked as an intimate examination of undisclosed romantic notions, the electrified chords and urgency of the drums help convey the raw and often senseless nature of infatuation, too. Miya’s lightly filtered and yet wholly endearing vocals explore the frustration of these emotions, gradually mounting in intensity with each line until ultimately breaking through the percussion in the final act with the cathartic proclamation, “Isn’t it obvious to you that I want you”? There's a genuine honesty to this tale of hers, and it's one that's credited in no small part to the excellent songwriting talent that she's put on display. On top of this single, Miya is primed to drop a series of singles over the coming months, so if you are enjoying the sounds on this latest piece, be sure to keep an eye on her as new material gets released.
