‘MIRROR’ stands as the captivating latest offering from the versatile Atlanta-based artist ARYEÈ THE GEM. With roles encompassing singer, songwriter, and vocal producer, she tantalizingly builds anticipation for her much-awaited debut solo EP, slated for release later this year through the independent label Saint & Citizen Music. Out now! ‘Mirror’ follows the triumphant trajectory set by Aryeè The Gem’s previous single, ‘To It.’ This track has garnered nearly one million online plays and earned praise from esteemed outlets such as Earmilk, Apple Music, ThisIsRnB, Notion Magazine, SoulTracks, and Metal Magazine, to name a few.
Crafted by Aryeè The Gem herself, the production draws upon her longstanding collaborators Trakmatik (known for their work with artists like Snoh Aalegra, Keyshia Cole, and August Alsina) and Hvstle. ‘Mirror’ lyrically delves into the concept of allowing oneself to step aside and foster trust in both oneself and others. It also emphasizes embracing reciprocity and fresh starts. This poignant and emotive composition features infectious drum patterns, synth keys, and lush bass guitar arrangements. These elements provide the backdrop against which Aryeè’s resplendent vocals, rich harmonies, and melodies resound. The songwriting captures themes of growth, resilience, and liberation.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Mirror’, Aryeè says,
“This song was inspired by the process of growth and development, it reflects my growth, resilience, and newfound freedom. With this song, I honed in on knowing myself and trusting in the path that I’m taking. As I’m moving forward, I’m releasing a lot of things that no longer serve me, and calling in a reflection of love through another person. My intention for this song is to amplify the energy of new beginnings in love and life, while trusting that everything that is unfolding is for my highest good.”
