Nicole Miglis Releases New Single "Wherever I Go" 

Nicole Miglis has released her new single “Wherever I Go,” available on all streaming platforms. She describes the track in her own words:

"Wherever I Go" was born in an Echo Park sublet, in-between a post-pandemic breakup and an upcoming (and unexpected) world tour with Bonobo. I had a few months to put my things in storage, before flying to Nashville for rehearsals. Before Nashville, I would spend some time in Los Angeles, hoping to rekindle a relationship that was ultimately not meant to be. I knew I would leave for a tour that would take me far away from this person, but I knew no matter where I went, I would think of them. It was from these feelings I wrote “Wherever I Go”.

The Creative Independent & Nicole Miglis: On sticking to your artistic intentions

Just over three years ago, the official Hundred Waters Instagram account posted that each person in the band was working on their own music but that the band was still working on music together. How did you all know it was time to work on your own music?

“I mean, I just knew. I knew that I needed to go off on my own. With the band, we were living and touring, and everything, together as a unit for so long, and after a decade of that, my soul needed a bit of a new direction. Any collaborative relationship can be tough, and I needed to explore creating in my own world again.”

While you were realizing it was time to fly solo, how did you realize you should also keep the band together?

"We were so close as people. We were still involved in each other’s processes and lives. It didn’t feel like we were completely cutting off from each other and not sharing things with each other. I mean, Tray [Tryon, of Hundred Waters] and I have a very back-and-forth relationship with music. We share things a lot with each other. It’s the center of the band, the center of our process."

"We have a good balance of strengths with each other. The band, and the music and community we’ve built, isn’t something I want to get rid of. I wanted to explore my own expression on a very individual level, but that band is such a big part of our lives and we built a lot of things together. We built a whole community, so we didn’t want to erase that completely."

Review Highlights: Nicole Miglis 'Myopia' 

“There hasn’t been a full-length Hundred Waters album since 2017’s Communicating, but that band’s vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Nicole Miglis, has just shared her debut solo LP. Like her work in Hundred Waters, Myopia synthesizes Miglis’ background in classical piano, harp, and flute with her knack for writing a great pop song. From the metronomic sway of “All I See Is You” to the tranquil blankets of tremolo and woodwinds draped over “One And Only,” Myopia is a wide-screen look into its creator’s sundry talents.”

NICOLE MIGLIS SINGLES GARNER PRAISE  

"Last month, Nicole Miglis of Hundred Waters announced her debut solo album, Myopia. So far the alt-pop musician has unveiled “All I See Is You” and “Autograph,” and today she’s back with 'Lure.' 

“The song plays on themes of allure, the shadow of desire, the push and pull, the power struggle of love, the games, the feeling of being reeled in and cast away like a fishing lure,” Miglis said in a statement. The sprawling track comes with a colorful music video by Ian Clontz; watch it below."

Nicole Miglis’ new solo music plays like a real-time documentary. Written via a portable setup while on the road, the Hundred Waters vocalist wrote songs for Myopia, her forthcoming solo debut, as they came to her naturally. Going solo can sometimes feel like a contrived effort toward reinvention. On her new songs, including the latest single “Lure,” Miglis doesn’t force a new style so much as she scans out and organically expands her core sound, composed of piano arrangements, orchestral pop, and her gossamer voice, all before shifting to an arpeggiated-synth dance loop fit for a club. “Lure” doesn’t sound myopic in the least.”

"Similarly spiralling and colourful, the two songs unveiled from the album, which offer a fascinating glimpse into its greater landscape, are reminiscent of Miglis previous work while crafting something uniquely captivating in its own form. Alongside the albums opening track 'All I See Is You', it's the somewhat sharper form of 'Autograph' that immediately resonates.

Indicative of those previous sentiments, the song offers a kaleidoscopic backdrop of experimental sounds and more focused melodic hooks, both of which allows Miglis' sensual voice to journey forward, an absorbing focal point with just the right balance between bright fortitude and lingering sadness."

NICOLE MIGLIS SHARES “LURE”, ANOTHER STANDOUT FROM HER DEBUT SOLO ALBUM ‘MYOPIA’ 

WATCH / STREAM: “LURE”

PRE-ORDER: MYOPIA

Nicole Miglis (of revered indie pop experimentalists Hundred Waters) has just shared “Lure,” another standout from her impending debut solo album Myopia - out August 23rd on Sargent House.

“Lure,” which arrives alongside a vibrant and whimsical music video by Ian Clontz is a cogent manifestation of Miglis’s innate ability to weave different influences, opening as a downtempo electronic ballad before revealing itself as frenetic dance pop via a wildly syncopated drum programming that joins the sonic pastiche. “The song plays on themes of allure, the shadow of desire, the push and pull, the power struggle of love, the games, the feeling of being reeled in and cast away like a fishing lure,” states Miglis of the song. Watch the video for "Lure" and pre-order Myopia vinyl, CDs, and merch above.

NICOLE MIGLIS ANNOUNCES SOLO ALBUM 'MYOPIA' WITH "AUTOGRAPH" 

WATCH / STREAM: “AUTOGRAPH”

PRE-ORDER: MYOPIA

Nicole Miglis, the multi-instrumentalist and voice behind revered indie pop band Hundred Waters, has announced her debut solo album Myopia is set for release August 23rd on Sargent House and shared the song “Autograph,” an unrepentant electronic earworm that surges out of the gate with infectious syncopation amid pleas for presence and authenticity. The song is an apt demonstration of Miglis’s mesmerizing ability to synthesize experimental production, pop melodies and classical form into a musical language completely her own.

Throughout Myopia, Miglis crystallizes interwoven states of obsession, love and loss alongside an eclectic array of sounds, both organic and digital, while expounding on the album’s theme of being unable to look past the immediate in favor of the bigger picture. “There’s the myopia of desire, love, obsession—the feeling of only being able to see that one person in everything, everywhere,” she explains. “There’s also personal myopia of not seeing your potential or your power, of not zooming out; limiting beliefs.”
