“MUSE” by AMAVA
Written for Tongue Tied Magazine, April 2022
Madison Slicker, better known as AMAVA, has just released her latest single, "MUSE". "MUSE" is a track with a slow, sensual beginning that explodes into an anthem of empowerment about being the inspiration behind someone's muse. Being someone's muse leads to the idea that we are suddenly tied to the way they view us and AMAVA is working to break out of that standard.
On the track, AMAVA shares "I want all of my music to sound like it takes place in a glittered, haunted house. A lot of what I write is based on how I’m feeling in that exact moment and I’ll always want to encapsulate a very specific and certain feeling.", which she definitely achieved with this release. This electronic melody is as clear and concise as it is foggy and dreamy. The lyrics of "Muse" are enough to pull you right into the emotions that AMAVA is feeling, overcoming the perspective of others and breaking out into the world as the person you want to be. "Muse" will play tricks on your mind, entertaining the haunted atmosphere that is being created from the moment this two-minute and twenty-six second track begins and will leave you wanting more as soon as it ends.
The self-described "pop music princess" has been rising through the charts of pop music with her steady release of feminist anthems. While her musical background was born within the genre of folk, she really has taken her talents to an entirely new level with her radiating confidence and sultry vocals.
