Young Miko Drops Magnetic Single, “LISA”

One of the most dynamic and exciting new voices in Puerto Rico’s Latin trap scene, Young Miko premieres her new single “Lisa” and its accompanying video.

A former tattoo artist — and one of the first openly queer musicians in the world of Latin trap — Young Miko approaches all her music with an effortless confidence that’s immediately magnetic. On “Lisa,” she brings her laid-back but powerful vocal flow to an unapologetic confession of weakness for the irresistible women around her, revealing her refusal to limit herself to one particular style or personality type. Mainly delivered in Spanish, the track matches her mesmerizing flow with a hypnotic arrangement of sonic details (moody piano melodies, stomping beats, a bombastic chorus of gang vocals at the final chorus). The result is an addictively catchy anthem firmly establishing her as an unstoppable new force in the global pop scene.

Directed and produced by 1K Dojo and filmed in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, the high-energy video for “Lisa” captures an extraordinary day in the life of Young Miko. In a perfect representation of the song’s celebration of all types of women, the video follows Young Miko through a house party packed with potential objects of her obsession. Spliced with a number of surrealist touches (including Young Miko simulating Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in a painting hung on a hallway wall), the visual also finds Young Miko in the studio, working her magic and delivering a hard-hitting performance of the track.
