SELECTED PRESS & QUOTES FOR AFTER THE MASQUERADE
“It’s a title track born of a modern take on synth-driven new wave that puts a fresh face on Miller’s country-tinged songwriting.”
“With sweet beats, a firm and striking voice that brings the words expressed to life, we are in love with this song. We love every arrangement, every word, pop with content, contemporary and well-crafted, music that makes a difference.”
“Songstress Shaela Miller brings a fusion of country and new wave music that sees the two contrasting styles collide in dazzling fashion. Pairing pulsing bass synth tones, atmospheric drums, delicate Americana instrumentation and her utterly stunning vocals, she delivers a hazy sound that’s as catchy as it is innovative.”
“This single is a gem that makes dialogue in a perfect and well-balanced way with the styles of Dream Pop, Alt Country and New wave, achieving its own and fresh sound that captures attention from beginning to end.”
“From the first chord to the last, it’s clear what the focus of the song is, as the lyrics delve into a poignant and seldom-discussed topic, exploring the nuances of misinterpreted consent that lead to feelings of shame and helplessness. Miller’s storytelling is profound, and her emotive delivery adds depth to the narrative rather well, if I may say.”
