With fire in her eyes and glitter on scars, Mimi's Revenge arrives with a vengeance. Her malicious new single, "Dire," is a statement, a velvet-wrapped punch to the gut. From beneath the city's glitter and glamour, "Dire" is its brooding, magnetic prologue.
"Dire," is a mythos grab. Created in-house from production to design, the aching, polished pop number sparkles with something sinister underneath. The beat is annihilatingly clean, the vocals vulnerable but fierce, and the mood hits like a whisper in a hurricane. It's a mission. It's like watching a soap opera from across the aisle. It's personal and intricate with a sinister twist.
The dance-commanding variety of Prince, the audacity of Outkast, and the emotional candor of Blink-182 are all sources of inspiration. Still, Mimi's Revenge slips eternally between classifications, as the most thrilling things are. "Dire" is like getting to the dressing mirror and seeing each of yourself staring back at you, a shimmering flight of fancy. Every outtake, vision, and beat for Mimi's Revenge tells a narrative. It's a survival tale as much as it is a novel.
"Dire" is the opening scene of another exciting chapter for Mimi's Revenge, a signal flare for anyone who's ever believed to be too much in a universe that still demands we be less." In a world hungry for candor, 'Dire' is everything, from the soul to the lyrics.
