B.Miles - B.Miles – Nine Matches
Having already drawn attention from a host of tastemakers across the world, L.A.-based singer-songwriter B. Miles’ presents her debut video ‘Nine Matches’.
Released earlier this year, the track was praised by the likes of Hilly Dilly, Wonky Sensitive, and Indietronica, who likened her sound to London Grammar and Banks. The single charted on the Hype Machine and has gone on to gain acclaim from the likes of Q Magazine and AltSounds.
In the composition of ‘Nine Matches’, B. Miles turned to fellow songwriter Eric Nizgretsky, who introduced her to production duo Noise Club. Known for their work with established artists including Wild Belle, the Spin Magazine-approved Quigley, as well as Kp, who recently supported Arctic Monkeys on tour, they were the ideal choice to help bring her dark pop material into the limelight.
The result is a perfectly balanced track, in which each of Noise Club’s percussive elements create their own space against deep, lush synth pads – a wonderfully vibrant texture to support B. Miles’ soulful vocals.
On the video, B.Miles says “I approached director J.D. Aronson about making the video because I wanted this video to be something the audience would watch and then say, “What?” I want people to feel almost uncomfortable watching it because those are some of the strong feelings represented in the song“.
Miles tries to stay true to a pop music aesthetic that she has carried as a performer since high school – yet she’s on a mission to break the mould. From crashing weddings and cliff diving to gigging mercilessly up and down Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip to make her mark, this bold artist is determined to succeed on her own terms.
With a host of fresh singles in the pipeline, B. Miles is coming out in style – watch this space.
