Tyler Miller’s latest single “Loyal” explores the tiring emotions behind always being the reliable, loyal friend to someone who can’t pull themselves out of dark places. You were taught to be by someone’s side in their times of need. Discarding your personal needs to uplift another during a crisis is just what a good good friend does. But as you see the constant sinking of someone who refuses to learn how to swim, you can’t help but grow resentful. You know this person inside and out, but they seem drawn to going down in life. They drag themselves into a personal abyss and you begin to realize they’re dragging you down as well. The constant brave face they force on themselves is as transparent as glass. You know it has become a gross, continuous cycle into toxicity but you can’t look away. As your friend falls deeper and deeper, you allow yourself to fall as well in hopes you can save them “this time”.
“Loyal” is a contemporary R&B dance pop anthem that utilizes modern electronic musical elements in experimental ways. We are first introduced to a series of notes that gradually crescendo. A choral electronic vocal flair suddenly begins and is constant throughout the entire piece. As the melody begins and Miller displays his vocal talents, brief instances of electronic vocals are intertwined and sprinkled throughout. We hear a hit of vocal stacking followed by fade-out echoing. Elements such as these pull listeners in to hear what musical treat they will be gifted with next. Small instances of unique flairs make an already intriguing single a mix of standard musical elements intertwined with modern electronics.
