Out Music: Milahroy ‘The Rush’

Out singer/songwriter Milahroy drops his introspective new music video, “The Rush.” I interviewed Milahroy in May when he dropped the single, and he shared he wanted the song to “sound like what growing up is.”

For instance, I remember sitting on the floor by the fireplace with my mom, dramatizing at 13: “I can’t wait to be able to drive!” “I’m going to have so many tattoos!” “I can’t wait to have my own place!”

With every milestone I achieved, the blinks kept blending together and my life started to rush before my eyes. I haven’t been able to stop it since.

All of that is what this song is to me. It’s the rush of growing older. But when I wrote it, I was dating someone twice my age and I believe that sparked this song as well.

Plus, the third story line – the black & white French new wave cinema-inspired shots – portray “our character going through the motions of a relationship & processing it all in real time.” The video pairs well with the guitar-driven track underscoring the pensive, reflective mood of the piece. As the track shifts via strong, muscular percussion, a quiet sense of safety and encouragement emerges.
