Make You Sad is the new release from Vancouver based Singer-Songwriter Michaela Slinger. She co-wrote this song with JUNO award-winning Kevvy (Carly Rae Jepsen, Fake Shark) and two-time Polaris Prize listed Louise Burns (Haley Blais).
A blend of two stories she states: ‘ Louise and I were experiencing different relationship challenges that converged over poor communication, eternal misunderstanding, and overreaction. We glorify relationships that appear easy or effortless, when—in reality—relationships with no attempt to try and really understand each other are destined to leave people feeling empty. I’m imagining that the person inside of the song’s relationship dynamic is describing it as “effortless” to outsiders who interpret that as proof of a happy couple, while it’s actually tormenting the person inside. I hope “Make You Sad” can accompany you while doing something solitary. Think of an early morning or late night walk, a drive, or sitting somewhere with a nice view in contemplation.’
With a regal clarity, Michaela’s superbly controlled voice is complemented by deft arrangements, delivered with a welcomed balance of contemporary pop saccharinity and self-conscious indie rock that makes the record particularly endearing. Check it out!
