In his new single, "Even if you don't know how," Michele Viglietti doubles down on the tear-inducing feeling of not being enoughand it somehow sounds appropriately utterly riveting. Delivered by the raw honesty of indie folk and draped in tender acoustic warmth, the cut is just as introspective as quietly impactful.
Viglietti's voice is initially like the whisper of a tight room in your body you rarely give words to, faint, uncertain, but honest. And that's just where this song resides. There are no origin stories behind its release or melodramatic accounts of its origin. It's just a song that comes from the artist's inadequacy.
Where much of today's indie folk doubles down on cinematic crescendos or poetic mystique, Viglietti peels it back to a deeply personal meditation on feeling that quietly asks you to sit with your discomfort. It modestly nudgingly reminds you that being at a loss for how to sit with life's heaviness is fundamentally human.
It's a momentary flash of clarity that lingers long. You can anticipate a song that's more conversation than performance, a gentle reminder that beauty does not always make a loud entrance.
At a time when the world seems overly preoccupied with certainty and polished personas, Michele Viglietti dares to be awkward, unsure, and tender. Even if you don't know how" is honest. And that might be the loudest thing you can do in the hushed mothballs of indie folk.
