Mikano’s “Silhouette” is a powerful celebration of individuality and cultural fusion. The first single off his upcoming mixtape, Melting Balloons, was directed by Juliette Labrousse. His last came after 2018 EP Blind Man Dreams. The French rapper is headed in an exciting direction, bringing inclusion, artistic ambition and genre-defying ideas to listeners.
Mikano compares the title to a blueprint with a hidden meaning beyond the color of skin. The note describes the release and encourages listeners to enjoy beauty without prejudice. Sutus’ trap-inflected pop-afrobeat cut supports that vision.
“Silhouette,” the first single from Melting Balloons, is about connection and creativity. Mikano blends African, British and American music to make something global. His musical identity is eclectic, a sign of our connected world. “Silhouette” is an artistic statement and a celebration of diversity, a thrilling start to Mikano’s career and a promise of more from Melting Balloons.
