There’s nothing we like more than feeling comfortable. That’s one of the reasons why breakups can be so hard, even if they need to happen. We get so used to having that person around and it can lead to you missing their presence. In B.Miles new song “Bad Decision,” she expresses the moments of weakness where you consider rekindling things when you know it’s not smart. The track falls into the indie pop genre with soft instrumentation, airy vocals and synths. This song gives a sense of calm in the storm of our minds. It’s the perfect song to listen to when you start to feel lonely and lines start to become blurred.
B.Miles said her goal was to write a song about what would happen if you pursue a fleeting moment of fragility. She gives two separate thought processes in this song. Most of this song lyrically is her wishing she could find romance with this person again. You can sense that in her opening chorus line, “You got me thinking of making a bad decision, and now I’m dreaming of laying so close to your skin.” But within those moments, she understands it’s just her vulnerability leading her thoughts. The chorus ends on “I don’t know what I’m doing” and “I don’t know what we’re thinking,” putting emphasis on how thoughts aren’t straight. I love how she included the small bit of duality because it shows the real side of how our brains try to justify decisions we make.
B.Miles is a musician in the New York scene. She writes to explain emotions that can feel unexplainable, bringing relatability to her listeners. Her sound has been described as “a bridge to pop music’s future” by Ones to Watch and “universally addictive” by Nylon. B.Miles debut release “Salt” has over 28 million streams on Spotify which is a huge accomplishment as an artist. She has since then released a multitude of singles and two albums with deluxe versions. Her 2024 album “Different Pages” is a collection of expectations placed on women through the journey of young adulthood. B.Miles is an incredible artist whose success is well-deserved. She performs with her bandmates - Eric Nizgretsky, Jackson Firlik, Matias Quarleri and Rob Seeley - and in September 2024 she'll be on the US tour with City Of The Sun.
