On Michael’s Song talented teen Cosial secretly crushes on The Sundays with a nice slab of astral indie. Singer Cece was upfront about the song’s meaning: “I’m 18 years old, and my songs reflect this messy navigation of young adult life. In Michael’s Song, I tried to capture the feeling of constantly playing second fiddle to someone – constantly chasing something and coming up short. Michael is just a side character, he’s the guy you use to make someone else jealous. This song gave me a real sense of direction.”
The lyrics are sharp, the sentiment concise and reflective with a maturity and uneasy clarity unusual in one so young.
