MIRA

THE CHICAGO ALBUM

BOOKING & MANAGEMENT

A dark electronic

love letter...

...from the room where grief, desire, memory, and spirit plug themselves into sound.


MIRA is not a polite album.


It is a voltage.


A woman

at the heart of a circuitry of sounds:


prayers, mistakes, hunger, and truth, asking what love becomes when it has survived too much to stay innocent, but still refuses to turn cold.


Produced by Vince Lawrence, founder and CEO of Slang Music Group, featuring multi-instrumentalist and programmer Joshua Scott, MIRA moves through poetic lyric, intimate vocal confession, ambient electronica, jazz-coloured phrasing, and eclectic instrumentation. It is cinematic, sensual, wounded, intelligent, and alive.


Listen closely.
You might find your heart here too.

POETRY PAGE

MIRA

was born in Chicago

This Canadian artist embraced and was embraced by the vibrancy of Chicago which she made her home and her muse across two years of composing, connecting and rcreating with the artistry and mastery of multi-platinum award winning producer Vince Lawrence and his team at Slang Music Group.


Mira Black built an album out of the questions that haunted her.


What remains after love becomes memory?


What does the body do with longing?


What is desire when grief is still in the room?


How does a woman tell the truth without asking permission from the wound?


The songs do not behave as one genre.


They move like memory moves: fractured, rhythmic, tender, erotic, aching, devotional, and sometimes beautifully inconvenient.


One song reaches for love as witness. Another refuses to be told love is an illusion. Another admits the terrible elegance of desire ignighted by someone new while still honouring the loss of his love.


The album’s lyric world moves through not belonging, craving, remembering, resisting, missing, and returning.


MIRA is the sound of a woman negotiating with her own heart in real time.

THE SOUND

MIRA sounds like electronic music built around a human confession.


Vince Lawrence’s production does not bury the voice. It creates a chamber for it. Beats flicker, stop, return, dissolve. Synth textures move like weather through the songs. Instruments appear like visitors: guitar, tabla, piano, breath, pulse, ache.


The album lives in the tension between machine and body, restraint and surrender, composition and invocation.

Mira’s voice is the centre wire.


Around it, the album builds an atmosphere that is part ambient electronica, part soul transmission, part late-night theatre, part diary written in blue light.


The result is not dance music in the ordinary sense, though the body is everywhere in it.


It is music for the moment after the dance floor is embodied in presence, ecstatic, divine, raw as when the truth is still vibrating under the skin.

Mira on MIRA


"I write so I can return to a moment and ask it what it was trying to teach me. I can go back and seek answers, or sit with love again in the present. I can revisit the room, the box, the bottle, the ice cream, the silence, the almost, the goodbye, the freedom, the lesson.


My music comes from the places my heart keeps returning to before my mind has finished explaining them.


MIRA is about that return. The purging of an ending. The ache of a beginning. The body remembering what the intellect tried to survive. Every time I visit the moment, I hear something different. Pain and pleasure both bring me back to the same passion.


The song becomes the place where memory can change shape without being denied."

~ Mira Black

About MIRA


MIRA is a genre-resistant album created in Chicago with producer Vince Lawrence, founder and CEO of Slang Music Group. The stellar collaborations with team mates like Joshua Scott, Abel Garibaldi, Fared Hawk and more contrubuted to what was built from Mira Black’s raw vocal compositions, poetic lyricism, and emotional storytelling. 


The album expands through electronic sound design, atmospheric production, and unexpected instrumentation.

The album does not chase polish for its own sake. It reaches for the living pulse beneath the polished surface. Songs begin in confession, then move through sensuality, heartbreak, spiritual inquiry, humour, hunger, and the complicated discipline of becoming honest.


There is love here, but not decorative love.

There is desire here, but not simple desire.

There is grief here, but it is not asking to be pitied.


MIRA is an album about the human places we try to hide from and the strange freedom that arrives when we stop performing our way around them.


It turns heartbreak into dance.


It turns longing into rhythm.


It turns survival into transformative sound.
