Love is a ride, reckless and fast, a thrill that was never meant to last. UK’s genre-defying Skaiwater returns with #mia (Manic in America), an electrifying eight-track journey that dives deep into love, excess, and self-destruction. Blurring the lines between hip-hop, electronic, and underground pop, Skai crafts a soundscape that’s as unpredictable as their rise to stardom. The album opens with pop, a high-energy, rhythm-driven track produced alongside Elkan and anca trio plus one, already hailed by Pitchfork as one of the Best New Tracks.
From the intoxicating allure of feral, a dreamlike confession over t.y.jake’s lush production, to the adrenaline-fueled rush of wolf featuring RADA, Skaiwater captures the emotional turbulence of fleeting highs. Closing the project, the hauntingly introspective title track manicinamerica leaves listeners on a cinematic yet unsettling note, cementing "#mia" as Skai’s most compelling release to date. Stream "#mia" now and experience the next wave of Skaiwater by following on Instagram, Soundcloud, X, and TikTok.
