East London singer-songwriter Mychelle has been magnetizing a growing audience with a potent pairing of hypnotizing vocals and compelling lyrics.

Drawing on a broad range of influences that include everything from Sade to Folk classics to Corinne Bailey Rae, the rising star has cultivated a unique sound that is definitely hers.

This is especially apparent on her brand-new single ‘Hurts.’ 

Helmed by producer Hugo M. Hardy, the song finds Mychelle musing on a love that has reached the end of the line.

Speaking on the creation of the track, she said:

“This song came together during my first session with Hugo. I really enjoyed working with him as he was able to draw out the indie sounds that I like. Having played guitar and been a busker for years, I’ve always enjoyed mixing the guitar vibes of folk and indie music with soul and R&B.”

The release, Mychelle’s first of 2023, arrives on the heels of single ‘Tightrope’ and her critically acclaimed EP ‘Someone Who Knows.’
