Miki Ratsula, accompanied by talented fellow singer-songwriter Semler, delivers a touching offering with their latest release ‘blue balloon‘.
Ratsula’s personal experience of being misgendered at their own birthday party serves as the catalyst for the track, evoking a unique blend of disappointment, annoyance, and a nameless sentiment that is deeply relatable for many experiencing similar journeys.
Weaving together threads of vulnerability and resilience, the chorus, which offers a melancholic and nostalgic rendition of Lesley Gore’s 1963 hit ‘It’s My Party‘ infuses the original with a fresh, contemporary perspective.
Ratsula’s raw and honest lyrical approach, coupled with Semler’s powerful vocal contributions, creates a captivating musical experience that leaves an indelible impression.
This is a wonderful introduction and no doubt part of bigger, bolder slow-burn anthems and subtle epics still to come.
