Beijing-hailing emerging art-pop talent Mixol has announced her debut EP The Fool, with lead single “we jump, our carnival,” an intensely passionate anthem rooted in women’s empowerment.
Offering an intriguing peek at the metaphor-laden blend of orchestral soundscapes and theatrical pop sensibilities that awaits us in the EP, the track is immersive and hypnotic.
Building on soaring layers of echoing beats and lilting melodies, Mixol’s whimsical, versatile vocal deliver adds a sense of allure to the expansive production.
Capturing the bold and emotionally unfiltered yet cinematic core of the upcoming project, the track is eerie and soothing all at once as it leaves wanting more of Mixol’s mystical sonic world.
Inspired by the first tarot card, Card 0, The Fool represents new beginnings, unruled hearts, and the courage to step forward without knowing what lies ahead. Laden with untethered optimism, the vivid project visualises its namesake as a figure resting before a journey that she simply must embark on.
With kawaii-creepy narrative games tied to each song, alongside cult-film-inspired content across socials, Mixol’s upcoming project is a layered, multi-platform experience that highlights a deeply fascinating talent whose textured craft resonates beyond genres and cultures to leave us with a sense of curiosity.
Inspired by the likes Björk, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, and Sheena Ringo, the promising singer-songwriter – and self-proclaimed witch – Mixol’s ability to craft enchanting but foreboding musical experiences sets her apart as an act to watch.
