Makk Mikkael – Use Me

After receiving praise from the likes of Major Lazer as well as playlist additions to Spotify’s New Music Friday, singer Makk Mikkael brings forth a gripping tale in ‘Use Me’ – a track drenched in darkness that perfectly encapsulates the emotion that surrounds the world of addiction.

‘Use Me’ commences with a warping sensation in the atmospheric pads creating a fog across the mix, that is heightened with the altered vocals that bleeds a haunting sensation. The lightness of the vocal delivery from Mikkael contrasts with the probing percussion that cohesively echoes the message of obscurity in the overall message being preached. The piece intensifies through the partnership of a brooding bassline and echoed harmonies that storms into a powerful chorus full of vigour and anguish, signifying a critical climactic point of the piece that drives home the emotional context that lies within.
