On April 22nd, Indie Pop artist NYIKO released his newest single titled “Like The Movies”. NYIKO uses his talents to write, record, produce, and mix a truly dream-like tune that will transport you into a coming-of-age film in a different era.
“It’s a song about growing up and believing everything we’re fed about love in teenage romance films and TV shows, only to realize that in reality, love is much deeper, much more complex, and ultimately more rewarding.”
This starry track perfectly describes the love we all want. It’s the kind we see in movies- “Wishing on a star/Someone who truly sees you for who you are.” On the other hand, it discusses the reality that it can’t always be like that- “When the house lights turn up and the credits start to roll/Will you stay until the end even if it’s all pretend.” However, the best kind of love can find a happy medium and combine the two to create something pure and magical and NYIKO depicts this perfectly.
If you’re looking for a song that makes you dance around your room and feel like you’re in the perfect 80s movie, then look no further. “Like The Movies” is available now on all streaming platforms.
