Michael Milosh, the Toronto-based singer/producer who fronts Rhye, has been releasing his own music for nearly a decade. If you discovered Milosh via Rhye, don’t expect to hear his unmistakeable voice surrounded by the same kind of silky soul on this chilly solo offering.
Last fall, “The Fall” seemed to appear out of nowhere, a tantalizing, faceless wisp of sultry R&B without a bio blurb’s worth of context. As details slowly congealed leading up to the release of Rhye’s excellent debut album Woman this past March, many listeners were introduced to Michael Milosh, the man—and yes, many were reluctant to believe, that’s totally a dude—who was effortlessly braiding his voice through Robin Hannibal’s silky tracks. Milosh has been producing and releasing his own music for nearly a decade via L.A.’s Plug Research, a label with an aesthetic of high-polish adult contempo grooves personified by the Toronto transplant. That same voice is in peak form on , but if you discovered Milosh via Rhye, don’t expect to hear it surrounded by the same kind of sultry soul. Left to his own devices, Milosh prefers chillier confines.
