B. Miles – “Different Pages”
B. Miles has her sophomore album coming out on September 30th and leading the way is the title track, “Different Pages.” An alt pop hit dripping with allure, “Pages” channels 90’s alternative pop masterpieces from Miles’ past that helped her grapple with her current life-changing events (check our previous feature on B. Miles here). Miles found inspiration in her favorite playlist stored on her first iPod, the bygone cultural touchstone that so many readers can close their eyes and wistfully reminiscence how formative it was to them. Miles finds herself at the end of a relationship and worldview that she carried through the entirety of her 20s – the break up anthems of the 90’s hibernating on her iPod manifest in a lingering pang and cathartic release like no other. Miles taps into the powerful, emotionally intelligent 90’s stars like Natalie Imbruglia, Dolores O’Riordan, and Hope Sandoval using them as avatars of independence, self inspection, and empowerment to help guide her as she unchecks boxes she once felt like she needed to check, like a long-term relationship; a “safe” job; or a house in the suburbs. Miles takes their lessons and makes them her own, creating a sumptuous alternative cut constructed impeccably with vocal magnetism, an ear worm hook, and a dynamic bridge that pops with a soft drama that is wonderfully rewarding. Fans of Phoebe Bridgers, Maggie Rogers, and Mitski can find a lot on this latest single that they’ll love.
