LA’s Michi teases the sweet sounds of summer on funky new cut “Sugarbaby”

The project of alternative pop artist Michelle Guerrero, as Michi she draws inspiration from her city base, identity, relationships, and the moment she met her birth father – an experience which lit a fire of confidence under Guerrero to pursue her dreams.

This year Michi began teasing her EP with its lead single "Nights Like This"; a bilingual track that gets steamier than any cliché could suggest. Following the hazy "Don't Know How to Behave", "Sugarbaby" rolls in with a sepia-tinged sound and the kind of glow you get when you crank the Instagram warmth filter to its maximum.

Her latest effort continues to explore a more passionate side of her songwriting, documenting the highs of falling in love. ""Sugarbaby" is a sentimental ode to expressing love and admiration for that special someone," Guerrero explains.

With the EP becoming a project to be completed within lockdown, Michi says "[it] was not easy, ["Sugarbaby"] for me was an escape into a colourful place, and the chance to express adoration of a lover in all their beauty and light."

Drawing Michi's eclectic influences together, "Sugarbaby" is a funk-flecked homage to basking in the power of a new love and radiates that energy throughout its two and a half minute runtime. Short, but intoxicatingly sweet.
