Ottawa Artist Mikayla Menzies Opens Up In Latest Single “Mess”

The single "Mess" is a kind of diary in which Ottawa singer-songwriter Mikayla Menzies confides her most vulnerable feelings. With her tender and soothing voice, the audience is lulled by a panoply of intoxicating melodies that coat the melancholy behind the young singer's lyrics.
Indeed, in an indie Folk texture, Mikayla narrates the circumstances that have caused her life to take a chaotic turn. Following the passing of her mother, she found herself in a phase of rebellion — in which she found a grain of relief. As she isolated herself, she soon realized the mess she was becoming.
In other words, this beautiful piece shared between vulnerability and candor is a testimony of how the combination of grief and isolation can be the cause of a chaotic life.
