Michelle Daly – What You’re Making Me Do To Me [Single]

Michelle Daly’s single “What You’re Making Me Do To Me” from her debut album ‘January Skies’ draws on her rich combination of soul, jazz, and rhythm & blues influences.  With the production magic of Charis Karantzas and the iconic setting of Berlin’s Jazzanova Recording Studio as a bit of inspiration, this track showcases Michelle‘s bluesy charisma and expressive nuance. It’s a journey through the smoldering depths of a love so strong it teeters on the edge of self-destruction, capturing the raw, emotional mess of a love gone wrong in its soul-stirring, bluesy beats.

Daly‘s words are coolly visceral, sketching out the rough edges of heartache against the backdrop of a melody drenched in blues. She and her band nailed the essence of the track in a mere two live sessions. The sound is a homage to the gritty Rhythm & Blues/Rock vibe of the ’60s, with a guitar and bass groove that perfectly underscores the rollercoaster ride of intense love affairs.

In the chorus, Michelle asks,, “Can’t you see what you’re making me do to me?” It’s as if she’s begging and blaming her sweet thang at the same time, summing up the struggle that can come with love.  The blues-soaked repetition  makes the song more emotional and really focuses on how love can make you fight with yourself.

With “What You’re Making Me Do To Me“, Michelle Daly continues revealing more of her personal journey and musical growth. Staying anchored in her origins, she adeptly combines a throwback vibe with bona fide storytelling, all the while delving into the common human experiences of affection, loss, and introspection.
