MUKI Makes Magic With “Reflections”

If you’re like me and introspective acoustic guitar-driven music makes you weak at the knees, I know you’ll fall head over heels for “Reflections,” the latest track from Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter MUKI. This is indie folk-pop at its best, a chilled-out number that leads with vulnerability.

“This is a song I wrote soon after the lockdown, touching on identity issues,” MUKI recalled. “It takes us through a journey in which every single decision one makes defines the person they become. It’s the small decisions we make that shape who we become. When I look in the mirror, it’s hard not to wonder if I’d have been looking at the same person had I chosen a different life or path.”

Hometown fans can see MUKI launching his single tomorrow, March 19, at Lulie Tavern. It’s totally free, so make sure you get along and support him.

MUKI Releases Fire New Folk Single, “Gasoline”

I’m a sucker for a guy with an acoustic guitar playing sweet indie folk music. If you are too, I know you’re going to flip for MUKI and his new single “Gasoline.” Born in Dubai with Indian roots, he now calls Naarm/Melbourne home. His voice seems to be able to do it all, moving effortlessly from a passionate rasp to an airy falsetto. The song is also really, really good.

“’Gasoline’ is my debut single as MUKI, and it’s deeply personal,” he said. “With ‘Gasoline’, I wanted to capture the tension of a relationship that wouldn’t survive despite every effort. It’s a breakup song, but one about acceptance and moving on.”

MUKI is wasting no time bringing this music to the people. He’ll play a free show at Bodriggy Brewing Co. in Naarm/Abbotsford tomorrow night, January 22.
