Capturing the thrill, confusion, and healing that come with modern love, Atlanta’s rising R&B-pop artist Mia Delamar steps confidently into the spotlight with her 12-track album, Love Me…Not. It’s a worthy follow-up to her debut EP, H.O.M.B. thanks to the sleek R&B production and Mia’s powerful vocals that emphasises her distinctly bold sound. You can definitely hear influences from American greats like Missy Elliott, Aaliyah and Beyoncé, who have no doubt left an impression on Mia as she was discovering her own musical talent.
So, let’s get into the album. Opening track ‘Into You’ offers a flirty spark of new affection that pulls listeners straight into the rush of infatuation. While ‘Whatever’ and ‘Anyway’ glide on polished pop-friendly rhythms, showing Mia’s instinct for addictive hooks. Her central message of resilience is brought home with gospel-infused single ‘Alright’ and that emotional vulnerability is further explored in ‘Say That’ and ‘The Drain’. A special note needs to be made of the special MiMix version of ‘Cool’, which perfectly showcases Mia’s penchant for unforgettable hooks.
Love Me…Not sets Mia Delamor apart as one of Atlanta’s most exciting new voices in R&B.
