Young Miko’s Debut Album ‘att.’ in Her Own Words

Young Miko opens up about the essential tracks and moments on her debut album, '-att.'

Opening with a man’s voice – Miko’s father speaking to her when she was a child — “Rookie” is reflective and poignant as much as it is defiantly assertive: “To live the dream you have to be awake,” she says in one breath, then adds: “I don’t understand how the hell this happened. The flow between vulnerable and sexy to assertive and sheer party girl permeate an album that sounds and feels deeply personal, but doesn’t wallow in self-importance. “I started recording the album two years ago, so I speak about many heartbreaks and many experiences I had for the first time,” Miko tells Billboard over the phone during a break from rehearsing her upcoming Coachella debut performance.
