Portugal-based R&B artist Miguel Dias releases hooky new EP, What You’re Feeling About Me. In shades of synth-pop and R&B, this record gets behind the befuddling, conflicting emotions one goes through in fleeting modern love affairs.
Consisting of two tracks in the EP, the first and title track, “What You’re Feeling About Me,” opens in an immersion under which a synth wave takes form and is interchanged with thumping beats that pull us into a groove. Dias’s charismatic voice instantly grabs our attention with his hooky and catchy delivery. He gets us singing to every line and nodding to every beat. The lines evoke a relatable feeling as he sings about being into this girl whose intentions he’s confused about, leaving him feeling unrequited. Merged into that are memories unforgettable. So there’s that melancholy we all know.
In the chorus, the artist’s voice rises to a falsetto as he sings, “Oh, babe, I know what you’re feeling about me/I can’t resist when you are looking like that.” The high and soothing harmonies emanate the right kind of R&B as they vocalize behind his lines with a sultry, soulful voice like Ariana Grande.
“Learn to Say No” opens with a relaxing aura and suspends to a relaxing, smug beat, accompanied by Dias sounding moody and low but suave and exquisite in sound. He sings, “You take me home every time you say, ‘I love you,’ babe. Can you stay here ‘cause I feel like I need you next to me?” The song he sings about being in love with someone who doesn’t let them in their hearts but he can’t say let go due to a lack of boundaries.
