Mitski is a popular indie rock artist who is well known for her variety of hits like “Washing Machine Heart” and “Liquid Smooth.” Her career in the industry started in 2012 when she released her debut album “Lush.”
She then went on to release three more albums over the span of four years, which all contained at least one or two hits.
But in 2018, she became a sensation when she released her most popular album “Be the Cowboy,” which contained popular hits like “Washing Machine Heart,” as mentioned earlier, “Me and My Husband,” and “Nobody.”
Her music became more and more popular after “Be The Cowboy,” especially in 2020 when it was spread across TikTok. Whenever you open the app, you will more than likely see a video with her music come across your page.
She also has over 100 million monthly listeners on YouTube Music, with her most popular song having over 400 million plays, and she has had over five concert tours since 2014.
Recently, on Feb. 27, she released a new studio album called “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me.” The album is 34 minutes long and contains 11 songs, and the cover appears to be an oil painting of a white, heterochromic cat in front of an olive green wallpaper.
Some of the song titles are “In a Lake,” “Instead of Here,” “Rules,” and “Cats.” The tone of a majority of the songs is very bittersweet. The composure of the music is very calm and easy-going, but still goes along with the bittersweet tone.
The lyrics, like many of Mitski’s songs from previous albums, are very poetic and deep. One verse from “Lightning,” a song on the album, is “If I’m dark, all the better/ To reflect the moonlight, If I mourn, all the better/To behold the sunrise.”
The album got an 8.2 reader score on Pitchfork, and a lot of Mitski’s fans shared their positive opinions of the album on social media. So far, the most played song from the album is “Where’s My Phone?,” which has had over 3 million plays on YouTube Music.
Mitski’s discography is the best for people who like emotion and depth, but also a little bit of creativity. The poetic lyrics mixed with her flawless vocals and the jazzy rock instrumental are what make her music so soulful.
Artists like Mitski, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, and Sade all acknowledge how music is art, just like how painting or sculpting is. It showcases emotion and vibe.
It makes their audiences feel what the composer wants them to feel in such an amazing and unique way.
