Shanghai-raised, LA-based artist miso808 debuts with bedtime stories mp3, an EP that blends indie, alternative pop, and R&B with a cinematic flair. The project merges childhood nostalgia with adult introspection, inspired by original bedtime stories written by miso808 herself. These tales, available as zines and digitally, expand the EP into a multi-sensory experience.
Bedtime stories mp3 flows through a range of emotions and themes, offering a layered exploration of realisation and love. The focus track, "misirlou," reimagines a surf-rock classic with Eastern musical influences and a bold bilingual twist combined with sultry energy and an experimental edge. "Crown" begins as a delicate piano ballad, escalating into a powerful synth-driven crescendo, while "1001" infuses Mandarin storytelling with modern production. "dazzling" delves into the complexities of love and passion, showcasing miso808's ability to weave haunting balladry and alt-pop emotion while the closing tracks, "intuition" and "meant to be," offer contrasting perspectives on queer awakening and self-discovery, blending introspection with cathartic release.
miso808's production skills shine throughout, layering synth-driven crescendos and intricate soundscapes. Themes of queer awakening, love, and cultural identity resonate across the EP, making bedtime stories mp3 a deeply personal yet relatable listen. By combining auditory and visual storytelling, miso808 establishes herself as a unique multidisciplinary artist. The EP invites listeners into an immersive, narrative-driven world, redefining what it means to merge sound and story.
