about
Motenko's latest single “Silhouette” oozes sweat-soaked early 2000s R&B, conjuring D’Angelo at his steamiest. Describing a dream about a past love, the song conjures raw imagery coated with the hazy veneer of a dream-state. Staggered harmonies and an intimate falsetto chorus take the listener along a visceral fantasy that does not hold back.
Micah is joined onstage, and in the studio, by three mainstays of the Austin music scene. Guitarist Cat Clemons III’s play-for-the-song restraint and stanky grooves provide just the right amount of flair, and the in-the-pocket telepathic interplay of bassist Josh Flowers and drummer James Gwyn rounds out the soul machine.
lyrics
I awoke, suddenly
It was you, speaking to me
The love that I missed, was coming through me
Into you, but it was just me
What I’d do to stay up in here
Satisfied, no worries to fear
But it’s never like my sweet reverie
Featuring you, your body and me
Come to me slowly
I don’t want you to disappear
I know I’m lonely
But with my eyes closed, you’re here
Feeling so close my emotion is true
Pleasure like this seems to good to be true
Takes me to times when these feelings were new
And you were mine
Come to me slowly
I don’t want you to disappear
I know I’m lonely
But with my eyes closed, you’re here
