Being a teenager can sometimes feel absurd, sometimes lonely, and at times that loneliness takes on an almost grotesque intensity. This familiar feeling is what Mya Angelique, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, explores in her new track “the comedown.” Imagine a classic coming-of-age and first-love story layered over soft, flowing melodies and delivered through a delicate, trembling vocal – that is what the song sounds like.
Mya grew up in San Juan – a city that, while not small in any formal sense, often felt that way. There was always movement, connection, noise around her, yet internally she experienced a sense of detachment and estrangement. Aware of how quickly adolescence passes, she tried to hold onto it, to preserve it, to make it last before it disappeared entirely. This contradictory feeling of loss and the urge to capture the moment became the foundation of “the comedown.”
