California-based indie electro-pop act Margot Polo has released his new single, ‘it’s my birthday.’ This sweet tune is a quirky, witty and melodically lush display from Margot Polo. Blending slide guitar with a dreamy melody and buoyant beat, Margot Polo creates a glorious tune for listeners to enjoy. His smooth vocals croon through 50’s-esque doo-wop harmonies while warm acoustic guitar exudes a folk-like hue. There is something compelling and joyful about this tune as jangly percussion and carefree, fun lyrics maintain a sing-along charm throughout “Honey, I try so hard to make believe, I’m only 27, can’t you see?, I ain’t goin’ gray, But baby, my back aches”. It’s the perfect birthday song – true, honest and wonderfully nostalgic. Love it.

About the track, Margot Polo said: “Crazy story about this song: On the morning of my last birthday, October 14th, 2020, I woke up from a dream in which I was around a campfire with all my close friends and family–including my great-grandma, who had passed away just some years ago–and we were all singing the chorus melody of this song. Entirely from this dream, I had almost the whole song: melodies, production, arrangement, entirely laid out for me in my head. “
