Qi Ming, an independent artist and producer from New York, introduces a soft and immersive soundscape with her new single, "she is gentle, she is dear to me," featuring Nan Macmillan. The song is the first release from her upcoming EP, " Fly with Me. It marks the start of a deeply personal and sonically polished chapter, supported by The NYC Women's Fund for Media, Music, and Theatre (NYFA).
The single moves smoothly between sad and warm, with soft synths, ambient beats, and simple textures. Qi Ming leans more toward restraint than excess, letting small production choices have a big emotional impact. The end result is a modern ambient pop experience that feels both personal and wide-ranging. This is a fine balance that shows her skill as an artist and a producer.
From the first few seconds, "she is gentle, she is dear to me" sets a mood that lasts long after the last note fades. The layered synths shimmer softly in the background, and the simple rhythms pulse like a steady heartbeat. There's no hurry here, each part takes its time, giving listeners time to process the feelings. It's music that you should not only hear, but also feel.
Qi Ming is an independent musician from New York who knows how to tell stories through sound. The simple production makes the song feel more vulnerable, making every tone and texture matter. This method puts her firmly in the company of innovative indie electronic and ambient pop artists who make their mark by being real instead of loud.
The single also gives "Fly with Me" an interesting tone, suggesting that the artist may work on a project that goes deeper into introspective themes with dreamy production. Qi Ming's art is a testament to the power of independent voices shaping today's alternative music scene, thanks to NYFA's NYC Women's Fund for Media, Music, and Theater.
