Miloe - "Everything (That Should Go)" | New Music


Miloe already came out with the song of the summer — maybe it's time for the song of the winter?

Not quite. The band's new single, "Everything (That Should Go)," is as melancholic as they've ever gotten, but it almost might be the most purely beautiful. It's also fitting that Bob Kabeya's face is so prominently on the cover. The line between Miloe as a whole and just Bob is blurry, nearly indistinguishable, a photograph viewed through rain-drenched glasses. Kabeya lilts an effortless couple of self-aware verses before sweeping into his best chorus yet. A subdued drum beat, muted bass, and gorgeous piano are all the accompaniment needed. Kabeya's easy-going vocal melodies stick around well after the track has ended, like soon-to-be good friends.

I can't confirm this, but some of the vocal samples in the back of mix sound very Normal Parents-ish (Miloe's been in the studio with Caleb, so just maybe?). The pristine production lends itself perfectly to the images evoked by the song — a bleary-eyed morning, the sun just extending its golden fingers over the horizon, whether in February or July. Most of Miloe's previous releases have been light, sunny gems. With "Everything (That Should Go)," Kabeya and co. show that they're ready to handle whatever life brings, for better or worse.
