American R&B artist Michi shines on luxuriant new single ‘If You Want Me’. Just old enough to remember those golden R&B videos on Millennial music channels, Michi blends this classic sound with something fresh. Snapped up by seminal label Stones Throw, she blends a keen ear for cutting edge beats with a velvet voice, able to capture fleeting emotions.
New single ‘If You Want Me’ finds Michi in control, a fun, sexy hymn that revels in attraction. A dose of soulful confidence, the single sits on a slumped beat worthy of J Dilla – who produced for Erykah Badu, after all – while the vocal puts you in mind of recent UK trailblazer Cleo Sol. It’s a real marker, with Michi focussed on delivering her incoming debut album – produced by Blake Rhein of Durand Jones & the Indications and Paul Cherry.
