Mizan | Thru

NY-based Mizan is a relatively new songwriter and vocally-gifted musician who has released her debut Dark Blue EP, and is one by one unveiling each track off this nuanced release. Setting ahead the goal of creating and working by her own convictions, based on her Ethiopian upbringing, Mizan’s strong character has allowed her to define her individual emotive sound.

The third single off her Dark Blue EP is the deep, dusk-flavoured “Thru” and never could a title of an EP be so fitting for the musical tone of its tracks. Mizan creates an urban dreamscape of synthesised beats and minimal keyboard accompaniments, in which the upbeat motion of the track perfectly compliments Mizan’s soulful voice. While being softly-spoken, Mizan lyrically sounds at ease and confident, like a sort of metropolitan Sensei, philosophising and preaching about love, life and the universe.
