Raised in Shanghai and now based in LA, the artist brings her bicultural experiences to the forefront in this genre-defying EP.

It’s an inspired move that makes the project feel like a cohesive, multi-dimensional piece of art.
The penultimate track, “intuition,” is a revelation. Its tender exploration of queer love builds from subtle beginnings to an emotional crescendo, embodying the EP’s balance of intimacy and grandeur. Meanwhile, “1001” showcases miso808’s ability to reimagine cultural narratives with a modern twist, blending Mandarin lyrics with moody, atmospheric production.
bedtime stories mp3, is an impressive debut that feels as much like a cultural bridge as it does a personal statement. miso808 has crafted a world where East meets West, intimacy meets spectacle, and music meets storytelling. It’s a journey you won’t want to miss.
