MURIELLE: CANCER MOON CHILD MIXTAPE REVIEW
Rating: 7/10
Murielle’s Cancer Moon Child is the layered, nuanced debut mixtape from Murielle. The singer, across the tape’s five tracks explains the complexities of love- especially the deepest feelings that come along the journey. It’s an exploration into when one loves more than the other person. But even in the hurt, there’s growth as one begins to learn more about themselves. This can be heard in the record’s choral arrangements, especially ‘SO MUCH!’ and ‘Ain’t No Love Lost’- Murielle plays with her vocals to use different voices that are all hers in their unique tones. “So baby when I get over ya/Oh when I get over ya/I’ll be able to breathe/Able to see/There ain’t no love lost then,” she sings. There’s a sureness in her lyrics that knowing despite the pain, she will grow and continue to flourish. Cancer Moon Childalso serves as a testament of her growth as a musician. All of it was self-produced and written by Murielle. In closing, it’s a soulful mixtape that only has us all awaiting more.
