"she is gentle she is dear to me" opens a new beginning for Qi Ming's EP "Fly With Me"

The New York-based independent artist and producer Qi Ming brings a tender approach to her new single "she is gentle she is dear to me," featuring the gentle vocals of Nan Macmillan. This song serves as the lead single for her new EP "Fly With Me" and is a cinematic portrait of intimacy, memories, and minimal electronic art.

Assisting in the creation of the song was the NYC Women's Fund for Media, Music, and Theatre (NYFA). It demonstrates Qi Ming's dedication to crafting music that goes beyond the surface. Opening with atmospheric textures, you are whisked away to a land where delicate synths and laid-back beats collide effortlessly. Qi Ming's production allows each part room to maneuver, resulting in moments of stark contemplation with sparse drops at 0:59 and 1:42.

These touches recall soft awakenings in the song, lending further depth and emotional texture to the proceedings without ever leaving us feeling overwhelmed. Nan Macmillan's voice is a quiet counterpoint to the song's electronic layers. It introduces a warmth and openness that follows close behind, even after the song ends. It's the way voice and instruments are joined that makes the single feel as if two musicians are having an intimate conversation about emotional landscapes, treating every shade and texture with our utmost care.

The track is nicely situated within the Indie Pop, Alt Pop, and Electronic realms, and on a musical level, Qi Ming's sound is both contemporary and timeless, immersing you in an utterly profound experience. "she is gentle she is dear to me" is a pledge, and Qi Ming and Nan Macmillan just want you to slow down, listen, and think about the quiet beauty of openness. This is an example of how the softest songs can be the most powerful.
