โAll I Ever Wantedโ by Gary Mictian slips under your skin before you even realize youโve hit repeat. Released on June 13, 2025, this shimmering hyperpop single blends the bounce of electronic dance with an emotional viscerality.
Mictian, the London-based artist and producer already known for his 2023 EP Nosedive, taps into the heartache of being haunted by a past love, when random triggers leave you wishing youโd never met them in the first place. But instead of wallowing, he spins that melancholy into a bouncy, cinematic soundscape filled with crunchy bass, glittering synths, and otherworldly vocal layers.
The track opens with a synth climb that pulses and builds like neon adrenaline, immediately setting the mood somewhere between heartbreak and euphoria. Then Mictianโs tender, vulnerable, but fierce voice comes in. His delivery is desperate, sincere, and soaring. Harmonizing vocal layers wail and swell across the beat, creating a full-bodied, almost spiritual atmosphere. Itโs got that surreal, futuristic polish reminiscent of Charli XCX or even The Weekndโs After Hours.
Gary Mictian is building worlds with โAll I Ever Wantedโ for you to get lost in. With more singles on the horizon and a steadily growing following, Mictianโs bold blend of cinematic electronica and lyrical introspection is getting better and better. Listen to it on Spotify and add it to your playlist to bop to the beat.
