“Missal sounds stronger — and more empowered — than ever.”
(Billboard)
Los Angeles, CA | June 16, 2023 – After a year of adversity and personal growth, Donna Missal is back with a vengeance. Following her departure from a major label, Missal embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery, resulting in her highly anticipated album, ‘Revel,’ which the LA-based artist has self-released today through ADA Worldwide.
Missal’s ‘Revel’ is a testament to her resilience and unwavering determination. The recent challenges she faced became the catalyst for profound introspection and a genuine desire to forge deeper connections with her audience. Missal shares, “Revel is an album about the painful experience of transcending, it’s about reaching for light. I wanted to make an album you could dance or cry to or both at the same time.”
‘Revel’ not only signifies the creative evolution of Donna Missal but also represents an exploration of her motivations for making music. During a time when Missal questioned her identity as an artist, she discovered a renewed unyielding passion to create. She turned inward, reframed her sense of self, and ultimately found inner peace. This metamorphosis solidifies Donna Missal as an independent artist with a purposeful vision and unwavering strength.
Donna Missal paved the way for her highly anticipated album release by unveiling three captivating singles. “Flicker” ignited a reawakening of her artistic prowess, while “Out of Me” invited listeners on a sonic journey of self-discovery. The heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of music, “Move Me,” showcased Missal’s ability to transcend life’s hardships through her art. These singles offer a glimpse into the depth and authenticity permeating through Missal’s new album.
The album’s lead single “God Complex,” sees Missal exploring moody trip-hop sounds, delving deep into vulnerable emotions surrounding security and a sense of belonging. When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Missal explains, “I love writing about ego and power and things I’m challenged by, but I wanted to do it in a proactive way with God Complex and make something sexy and almost antagonizing.”
The accompanying official music video for “God Complex”, directed by Sadie Wilking and choreographed by Jakevis Thomason, further amplifies this emotional journey through the expressive power of dance.
‘Revel’ is set to captivate audiences with its raw authenticity and unwavering spirit. Donna will bring her enchanting live performance to NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on July 13th and LA’s The Roxy on July 20th to join her fans in celebration.
