Stream MICO's New Album 'When The Lights Turn On'
(CR) 23-year-old Filipino-Canadian alt-pop-rock artist MICO releases his debut album, When the lights turn on, via Columbia Records. With emotive vocals and heart-on-sleeve lyrics, MICO tackles coming-of-age queries on the genre-jumping LP that blends the hook-heavy nostalgia of 2000s and 2010s pop punk with modern alt pop and hyperpop influences.
Written during a whirlwind year of sold-out touring, personal upheaval, and rapid growth, When the lights turn on finds MICO (born Miguel Veloso) grappling with identity, mixed-message romances, nostalgia, online perception versus reality, and the strange experience of outgrowing the people and places that once felt like home.
Standout track "Your favorite flowers" embodies one of the record's most tender moments, pairing gentle acoustics with the story of two best friends working out their feelings for each other amid major life shifts, and finding their way back to each other as friends in the end.
