MACY – Smoking Gun (2020)

Since the tender age of 11, MACY has been honing her music and developing her songwriting skills. This dedication paid off in 2019 when she was selected on the Forte 10 project. Earlier this year, she released her debut single ‘Cinema’ and is now back with her follow-up ‘Smoking Gun’.

The song looks at those moments when you are caught doing something that you shouldn’t be doing. The dark pop style of this song is pure MACY and showcases what she has to offer. The song is easy to relate to because most people have been in a similar situation at some point.



‘Smoking Gun’ opens with a floating melody that is like smoke curling around you. The piano lines draw you into the track and remain as this soothing foundation. The beat becomes deeper to add an extra hint of darkness to the track. While the melody is relatively simple, there is something intriguing about it that infiltrates your senses.

As the melody forms the solid foundation for the song, it is MACY’s vocals that really get you hooked. Her vocals are smoky and sultry while having this hint of danger to them. There is something about her performance that captivates you and wraps you in the lyrics of the song. While the chorus is catchy, it enthrals you in a slow and smooth manner.

MACY wraps you up in wisps of dark pop vocals and melodies in her single ‘Smoking Gun’. The track highlights her sultry vocal performance as she infiltrates your senses.
