Donna Missal is a songwriter who writes emotionally strong tunes about love and desire. She's also a singer whose voice, coolly seductive or openly emotional, proved an effective vehicle for her material. Setting her confessional lyrics against electronic backdrops that meld pop melodies with dynamics, brings a sense of drama to the songs. Missal established her style on early singles like "Keep Lying" and "The Keeper" while she consolidated her efforts on her first full-length album, 2018's This Time. Her sophomore set, the acoustic-driven Lighter, appeared in 2020 with the torchy In the Mirror, In the Night EP arriving two years later. After losing her major-label deal, Missal returned in 2023 with the vibrant, independently released full-length Revel.
