Mia Loucks – Light It Can Blind You

Mia Loucks’ new EP ”Light It Can Blind You” is an intimate exploration of life’s dualities, raw and thought-provoking. Released on October 25, 2024, this trio of tracks “Light It Can Blind You,” “Alive,” and “Ricochet” delivers deeply personal reflections shaped by a summer marked by health challenges and emotional introspection. Loucks recorded and produced these songs herself, embracing a lo-fi, bedroom-pop aesthetic that captures the essence of vulnerability.

The title track, “Light It Can Blind You,” is a standout meditation on the cycles of light and darkness, delving into themes of acceptance and the unpredictability of happiness. Mia’s vocals, haunting yet comforting, echo influences from legends like Leonard Cohen and PJ Harvey, while her style remains undeniably her own. The other two tracks, “Alive” and “Ricochet,” explore themes of resilience amid challenges, each carrying a sense of introspection that feels intensely personal. With her evocative vocals and haunting melodies, Loucks has delivered a work that is as much a reflection of her inner world as it is an invitation for listeners to confront their own.

Mia Loucks’ ability to transform personal struggle into art that resonates is striking. This EP stands as a beautifully crafted testament to Loucks’ unique ability to turn pain into art, inviting us to listen, reflect, and, as I feel, connect deeply. For anyone navigating uncertainty, ”Light It Can Blind You” is a must-listen, offering solace in its sincerity. Listen and let it resonate Mia Loucks is an artist to watch.
