A voice that seems to come from the depths of time. A biography with the aura of a cursed poet. Beauty as an ideal and as an obsession. Micah P. Hinson has collected the legacy of American songwriting of the nineties, aiming decisively at the breath of the classic. A trajectory suspended between torment and the longing for peace, in pursuit of one's muse with a changing team of companions.
With “Tomorrow Man”, something changes radically. The title already reveals the desire to free oneself from one's emotional heritage: the idea that tomorrow is finally a habitable place, no longer a threat. A tension towards rebirth that Hinson had timidly hinted at in the previous “I Lie To You” (2022), but which here takes over and becomes the hallmark of the entire work.
A renunciation of the past and a consequent internal liberation that also arises from the strong bond that Micah now has with his (Italian) band made up of Alessandro “Asso” Stefana (guitars, piano, banjo, keyboards, bass) and Zeno De Rossi (drums, percussion), defined in the recent live in Milan as the family he has chosen for himself, unlike the one that fate gave him.
The album is full of impressive melodies, which Micah composes (as always) with surprising naturalness. His voice gives croonermore central than ever, conveys a definitive split with what has been: a rebirth. With “Tomorrow Man”, Micah P. Hinson finally seems to find a space of stillness: not the denial of pain, but the conscious choice to overcome it. It is the album of a man who, for the first time, truly decides to belong to tomorrow.
