There’s a majestic, heart-melting feel about some nature scenes that is incomparable. However, artists have their way of conveying a feeling that conjures up one of these magical moments in mind and makes one feel it to the core. Because of its unexpected mind-blowing sound, moving performance, and relatable lyricism, MIHI NIHIL‘s “So Please” has this enchantment’s impact on the soul.

Before we dig deep into the single’s characteristics and how it flawlessly combined the best qualities of varied genres and produced one coherent, moving, softly killing masterpiece, let us know a little about who’s behind it and how they came up with this standout artistic identity. MIHI NIHIL is an emerging band consisting of Mihi Vox (vocals), Benjamin Montoya (guitar), Nick Steinberg (bass), and Adam Alt (drums). Their pot is filled with iconic influences such as The Clash, early Radiohead, Neil Young, the Banshees, and The Pixies, yet what comes to the surface is their own persona that tastes completely different.

“So Please” brings together flairs you never expected to hear together as well as eloquently assembled vulnerable and powerful feelings. The sensibility of this piece will appeal to fans of country, rock, gothic, or blues, and if you’re into the whole package, you’ll instantly grow to love this sophisticated outfit.

The heavy instrumentals, soulful vocal line, poetic lyrics, and dark yet cozy execution work together to build an ambiance similar to the moment where the sun seems bloody yet ravishingly blazing as it’s cinematically falling down to hide in a valley where it feels close enough to give a warm hug. Each component, delivering both pain and edginess, depicts the melancholy narrative of a love that has faded between signals and between days and nights, leaving one to question, “Should I stay or should I go?”

With all the effort that has been put into it, no aspect of the song is not worthy of attention. It gives the feel of going on a journey where you hear the story through each distinct resonant instrument playing and the melodious vocals, experience the anguish through their impassioned performance, and feel liberated when they hit the final note. I hope you’re emotionally prepared for the natural, tense waves of complexity.
