Mikky Ekko
“Disappear” (Ruff Demo)
Digital Single
The new single from the Nashville-based crooner is a surprisingly esoteric turn from an artist who seems on the cusp of breaking through (due to his feature on RiRi’s mega-smash “Stay”). The velvet-voiced Shreveport-native sounds surprisingly Panda Bear-ish, plaintively emoting over a mostly-stark, cineamtic arraignment that builds to a brief, powerful climax. Lyrically, it’s basically a rehash of Snow Patrol’s uber-ode to spooning “Chasing Cars,” but that doesn’t stop it from being an affecting, effective piece of balladry.
