January 17th, 2025 [Los Angeles, CA] – Electro-pop innovator, M the Myth, kicks
off the year with their latest single, “Whiplash,” a haunting exploration of heartbreak
and healing. Released today, the track pushes boundaries both sonically and
emotionally, blending lush electro-pop textures with deeply introspective lyrics.
“Whiplash” began as a soft piano ballad, but under the skilled production of DJ and
producer Niño Neon, the song evolved into a vivid electronic odyssey. “Niño has such
incredible taste, and his knowledge of the Latinx alt-pop scene was crucial in shaping
the direction of ‘Whiplash,’” says M the Myth. “He pushed me to bring more to the
track, and I trusted his vision. We replaced the piano with a Reese bass and added
mid-range distortion, creating a crisp and saturated sound. Together, we crafted an
electronic wasteland that’s both dreamlike and surreal.”
Drawing inspiration from avant-garde artists like Rubio and her track “Invierno,”
“Whiplash” unfolds as a shadowy landscape, where shimmering synth waves collide
with ethereal time-based effects. The result is a minimalist yet immersive experience
that invites listeners to float through the vast emotional space of the song. “This track is
more stripped down than anything I’ve done before,” M the Myth shares. “The space
in the song allows every element to breathe, amplifying the emotional weight of the
lyrics. Niño’s expertise was key in building the tension in the verses and creating the
forward movement in the chorus, a reflection of the journey through pain and toward
healing.”
The bridge, written in collaboration with Grammy-nominated songwriter Rodney
Alejandro, became a highlight of the creative process. “Rodney was unstoppable,” M
the Myth recalls. “Within moments, the bridge came to life as if struck by lightning.
He encouraged me to bare my soul in the lyrics, and that authenticity is the heart of
this track.”
Vocally, “Whiplash” demanded a new level of intensity. “I had to stretch my voice into
falsetto and then belt on the word ‘whiplash.’ It was challenging but necessary to
capture the raw emotion of the song. We recorded late into winter nights, and those
sessions became an emotional release in themselves.” At its core, “Whiplash” is a song
about healing. “Heartbreak is messy and raw, often feeling endless,” says M the Myth.
“I hope this track resonates with my fans, offering them space to reflect on their own
journeys while introducing a new dimension of my artistry.”
