Michi announces her forthcoming debut album, Dirty Talk

“Snoobie” was written at a particularly raw time, as Michi explains: “‘Snoobie’ was my moment after being dumped of being like, I'm pissed! I was also witnessing other special women in my life go through so much struggle caused by men. It's so crazy how men can have a hold over me sometimes. I used to say I hated them, but in fact I think I love them too much sometimes.” The accompanying video shines a spotlight on the pitfalls of performing masculinity.

A different version of “Snoobie” was released last year when Michi’s Stones Throw labelmate Knxwledge remixed the track along with two of Michi’s previous singles: “There’s No Heaven” and “If You Want Me”.

The flip side to Dirty Talk’s excavation of failed relationships is its celebration of love and sexual confidence. Michi says, “I fluctuate between sensitivity and sadness, and feeling myself unstoppable.” She adds, “I kind of talk my shit on this record. But Dirty Talk isn't just about dishing out, it's about revealing the dirt on my hands of misunderstanding life's gifts – the opportunity to transform, grow and release. I want this album to accompany whoever hears it in liberation of the self, in healing.”
