The pioneering British-Japanese artist Miso Extra has today announced the release of her debut full length project with Earcandy – written and recorded over the summer of 2024 with Ricky Damian (the Grammy-winning engineer known for his work with Ezra Collective, Jorja Smith and Sampha) at Damon Albarn’s Studio 13. Set for release on 16th May via Transgressive, Earcandy cements Miso Extra’s status as an irrepressible and confident new talent, capable of transforming the exciting, spontaneous moment of creation into delight for the ears.

To accompany the announcement, Miso Extra has unveiled a preview of her anticipated debut album with the release of new single, ‘Certified’. This synth-house-inspired pop track offers a glimpse into the spellbinding world she has created and heralded the “Misoverse”, and sets the tone for Earcandy. She says “Certified centres around the attempt to be seductive and the stubborn determination that comes with it”.British Japanese artist Miso Extra’s debut album, Earcandy, emerged out of a desire for pure pleasure. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London, the singer has shaped her record into a culinary concept in which she reflects her multicultural upbringing. Based on umami, the fifth taste, the album contains a collection of short, two- or three-minute tracks that she intriguingly relates to plates of tapas.

In the sauce, there’s a lot of R&B inspiration, throwing us back to the golden age of the ’90s and the finesse of Aaliyah and Janet Jackson. So effortlessly does she roll them out, it’s almost as if Miso Extra spent her youth singing their hooks and gimmicks in the shower, as on the tracks “Slow Down” (co-written by DJ Boring), “Pop” or the unstoppable “Good Kisses,” featuring Metronomy. On “Certified,” she displays the same ease around a more electro production, and even crosses into emo territory at times, too (“Done”). The album ends on a more organic note, with the soulful title track, which perfectly sums up this sweet summer record. And for dessert? A Qobuzissime, of course! – Smaël Bouaici
