Houston artiste by way of Chicago Lyric Michelle lays her soul bare on this latest offering from her upcoming project, “MissDirection.” Equal parts strength and vulnerability, “My Pain” is a smooth, soulful blend of flame thrown lyrics, thought provoking spoken word and heartfelt singing courtesy of Donte Newman and Jack Freeman respectively. Once again Chris Rockaway’s board work provides Lyric with the perfect backdrop over which to exorcise her demons which is exactly why she is a favorite of Yahoo Music who have premiered several of Lyric’s works. This go-round however Revolt jumped at the chance to debut “My Pain” after she performed at their McDonalds sponsored ‘Local Love Tour’ stop here in Houston.
Live performance is truly where Lyric shines though, taking her audience on a visceral journey for which they are seldom prepared and never forget. Thankfully, she routinely gets the chance at major events like A3C, SXSW and POP Montreal because if you ask her, performing is really all she wants to do.
“MissDirection” will be dropping later this year and features cameos from a wonderful roster of talent including Fat Tony, LeeLonn and Kam Franklin of The Suffers. An early listening link can be provided for media upon request. Stay tuned!
