Alt-pop singer-songwriter margø explores themes of fearlessness and self-love on six track EP cool on the internet, led by her sultry yet powerful vocals laid over anthemic guitar-led soundscapes.
Opening with the soaring riffs and foreboding feels of “space,” the Canadian musician showcases her vocal versatility with her husky delivery on slow-burn “play pretend,” which moves seamlessly into the lush, synth-laden “the other side.” Stand-out title track “cool on the internet,” brims with self-confidence led by a booming metal-inspired soundscape as her relatable song writing deconstructs toxic social media ideals.
Moving into final tracks “repeat after me,” and “one bad day,” flip away from gritty verses into something more hazy and electronic wrapping up us with all the self-love we need to move forward in life.
With an ability to be bold yet vulnerable in her layered alternative artistry, putting dark and modern spins into carefree slices of rock and pop, margø is rising as the voice of anyone struggling to find their own.
