Micah’s Glimmer Illuminates the Search for Feeling in a Numb World

London-based South African artist Micah, who we previously featured for her haunting debut Mirror, returns with Glimmer—a track that pulses with quiet urgency and emotional weight.

Taken from her upcoming three-track EP Psyche, Glimmer reflects the soul’s delicate yearning to reconnect with something real, something grounding.

The soundscape moves between stripped-down acoustics and bold, rock-leaning textures, with live instrumentation that never overwhelms but frames her voice with clarity.

There’s a melancholy in the way she sings “I’m praying on a glimmer / A calming trigger / Bare minimums / I need a difference”—a quiet plea wrapped in cascading melodies.

Her vocals don’t sit atop the mix; they run alongside it, threading through every shift in pace and tone.

Micah explained, “‘Glimmer’ represents a micro-moment of joy—the kind of comfort or safety that arrives just when you need it most.” That tension between isolation and hope is what gives the song its depth.

As the first release from Psyche, Glimmer hints at an introspective journey ahead—but for now, it’s a comforting start. Stream it, and let the feeling unfold slowly.

Micah’s Glimmer Lyrics

chorus
I’m praying on a glimmer 
A calming trigger 
Bare minimums
I need a difference
Confess, I wouldn’t know it 
A golden moment, too many reasons
Hard when you’re not used to feeling 
I want to feel again

verse 1
I found my muse, it keeps me in touch
with words that won’t always mean enough,
The passing love, leaving before I can trust 
I always give too much 
Held by old moments, looking back grounds me somehow 
Endless escaping, found its way to burn me out 

chorus
I’m praying on a glimmer 
A calming trigger 
Bare minimums
I need a difference
Confess, I wouldn’t know it 
A golden moment, too many reasons
Hard when you’re not used to feeling 
I want to feel again

verse 2
Maybe its the faces that weren’t always nameless,
still take up the space I need the most,
maybe the grief stole the best parts for keeps,
leaving me with morals that barely make due,
it kind of explains it, words went unspoken
so built up emotions assumed control, 
the kid in me’s blameless,
kept in the worst now its all coming through 

chorus
I’m praying on a glimmer 
A calming trigger 
Bare minimums
I need a difference
Confess, I wouldn’t know it 
A golden moment, too many reasons
Hard when you’re not used to feeling 
I wanna feel again

bridge- outro
I want to feel
I want to feel 
I want to feel again
