Miranda on Not Much Of A Man:
“Not Much Of A Man is a song about silently acknowledged, unspoken desire. It’s about falling hard for someone who isn’t available, feeling chemistry between the two of you, knowing that they feel it too. You’re playing a game with each other, but neither of you can speak, and the silence, the wondering what they’re really thinking and if you’ll ever be with them, is starting to drive you crazy. It comes from a point of maximum frustration, of needing to speak and get an answer. It also comes from a place of anger; you’ve started to think that they might be in the wrong, might be playing you, hurting you. But it’s a powerless song really; they have the control, they could do what they wanted to you and you’d allow it. It’s not exactly feminist, but I wrote it in a blur one morning when I felt that way about someone I wanted to be with; frustrated, angry, powerless, vulnerable.
I wrote it in October and started working on the single straight away. Lately, my sound has been moving into the space between neo soul, pop and acoustic folk, blending influences from Artists like Olivia Deane, Jorja Smith, and Pip Millet, with that of Matilda Mann, Luz, and Adele. Not Much Of A Man was produced by Cian Sweeney. We had the best time finding that sound. I wanted to stick to my folk roots, so we stuck to my folk chord progression and decided to keep an acoustic guitar line throughout.”
