Heart vs. Head: Michy’s ‘Can’t Explain’ Is a Dark Pop Dilemma

Italian Singer-Songwriter Michy has delivered a fantastic new track; ‘Can’t Explain’, this is a follow up from her release earlier in the year ‘Business Calls’. With this new  track Michy offers a hypnotic dive into the emotional grey zone where reason and feelings collide. Michy brings both sultry songwriting and a voice that drifts has both delicacy and depth  

The track opens with an intimate, inviting verse, which  shows the emotional tension at the core of the song’s  message: the battle between heart and mind. As the song unfolds, it shifts into a pulsing, velvety chorus, which is dark yet catchy. ’Can’t Explain’ is a soundscape that feels like a late-night conversation with yourself, as it’s full of “what ifs” and “should I’s,” wrapped in a seductive blend of song and human emotion

A unique aspect of  ’Can’t Explain’ is Michy’s subtle use of sarcasm and restraint. The vocals never push too hard but rather they strike with precision. There’s a raw spontaneity in the production; which is a mix of melodic softness with deeper undercurrents, this perfectly mirrors the track’s internal conflict

Lyrically; the song explores the harshness between rationality and emotion, the moment where love turns into an internal and mental tug-of-war. It asks: Do you choose with your head or your heart? And perhaps more importantly: What does it cost either way?. The beautiful instrumentation of this track really adds to its depth

‘Can’t Explain’ doesn’t offer clear answers; but it doesn’t want to. Instead, the track captures the feeling of being tangled in your own thoughts, wrapped in desire, hesitation, and hope and provided listeners with a haunting but relatable song 

Mitchy is building a phenomenal discography and paving a fantastic path in the Dark Pop scene, excited to see more from her!
