“With pulsating beats and exquisite lyrics, My Midnight Heart is melting minds with their signature twist on sonic dreamscapes.” “Backed by dreamy synths that compliment her airy, feminine voice, Puerto Rican songwriter Angelica Allen challenges listeners’ expectations on “Drown” with her dark, introspective lyrics” “…scattered with sparkling rhythm guitars, electric saxophones, warped and twinkling synths, and topped off with the limitless vocals of Angelica, a.k.a My Midnight Heart.” “as My Midnight Heart, Angélica combines cosmic 80s synths, shimmering soul-pop vocals, and tribal beats. Vocally her silky tones recall Mariah's lower registers as much as London's Foxes. For a frame of reference: MMH sounds like Bat for Lashes casting spells in the moonlight with Vanity 6." …weaves together the late-night moodiness of vintage trip-hop, the booming sounds of contemporary alt-R&B, and some of the raw emotional charge of classic PJ Harvey.” ”..the title track glides on a bed of smooth synths and skittering percussive touches…” “…bedroom-friendly vocals a la My Brightest Diamond and Bat for Lashes." "My Midnight Heart’s debut, ‘Chest of Hearts EP,’ is like soaring into darkness. The woman behind the music, Angelica Allen, delicately layers ethereal sounds with images of doubt, creating a three-song release that is as weightless as it is heavy.” “My Midnight Heart is avant-electro-pop at its best… We were instantly hooked by My Midnight Heart’s effortless and unexpected sound that mixes soul soaked minimal R&B, sweeping electronica, and percussive left-field-pop unlike anyone else making music.” "…like a more soulful version of Cocteau Twins.” "…stop-in-your-tracks, bravura moment of power balladry, the likes of which you simply don’t hear any more…[She] has managed to turn every moment of personal fragility, of soul-baring vulnerability, into high art.” “…the same upper-register vocals reminiscent of Mariah Carey — but set atop airier instrumentation.” “My Midnight Heart’s lush arrangements bring to mind the adventurousness of Kate Bush and Bat for Lashes, but are set apart by Allen’s deeply personal, dreamlike imagery.” “My Midnight Heart’s lush arrangements bring to mind the adventurousness of Kate Bush and Bat for Lashes, but are set apart by Allen’s deeply personal, dreamlike imagery.”
