Overstimulated

Overstimulated is the new single from Canadian soul-drenched pop singer/songwriter Miranda Joan. On the track, Joan confides, “I wrote this song when the doors to life had just reopened post-lockdown and I was, as I’m sure many of us were, ready to erupt. In what felt like a blink of an eye, everything opened up and here we were, hermited heathens, given keys to the city. The energy was intense and, having spent so much time in isolation, when things finally came back and we were able to socialize again, I was overcome with urgency. I wanted to do it all, I wanted contact, I wanted to be around people, I wanted to be seen, I wanted to feel.”

The track is the first single off of her upcoming album of the same name. Miranda Joan is known for her seductive warm vocals, flowing R&B melodies and electronic pop soundscapes. She has received acclaim from the likes of LADYGUNN, Earmilk, The Line of Best Fit, and more.
