“If music were a person, they would be who I would tell all my secrets to.” – Tai Mystique
Singer-Songwriter Tai Mystique has unveiled a vibrant new five-song EP “Where Do I Go”. The title track is a duet featuring fellow Wisconsin-based R&B / Alternative artist Felix Ramsey. Their interwoven harmonies blend beautifully as the sounds of a Latin rhythm and fingerstyle guitar provide the musical foundation for the vocalists’ dance.
Tai Mystique’s “Where Do I Go” EP features songs released individually since her debut with 2020’s “Last Summer” EP, including “Toxic” which points to the ways a relationship is in decline and has attracted nearly 150,000 plays on Spotify alone since its release in 2021. “Be Without Me”, highlights what is now lost since the relationship is over, while “Can You Feel Me”, released earlier this year, has a more loving and protective nature to it. “Euphoria”, the EP’s closing track is a more mellow track with an ambient soundscape tied to a smooth groove imbued with sensuality.
The collection of these songs into the cohesive narrative of the EP draws attention to the impressive character of each individual song. The fact that Tai Mystique writes all her own music attributes to her infectious and enticing sound as well as comparisons to the likes of Jackson and Aaliyah. In spite of Mystique’s creative control over her sound, she lends a lot of credit to her collaborative team including producers Johnny Innuendo, Daniel Cruz, and Daniel Graham, as well as engineer Tai the Don and her A&R team at Rell. The EP also features the talents Destiny Moriah and Baby J.
If you are a fan of contemporary R&B, you will really appreciate the tone and sentimentality of “Where Do I Go”. Both the EP and the song itself will pave the way to establish Tai as a modern-day Janet Jackson and Anita Baker.
