Qi Ming’s “she is gentle, she is dear to me“ reads like a hushed confession on a late-night wind. Featuring Nan Macmillan, it is the first single off Qi Ming’s upcoming EP “fly with me” and establishes the emotional register with spare elegance and cinematic restraint.
The production has a studied patience that allows every breath of space to contribute to the emotional heft of the song. The arrangement hovers somewhere in between sad and warm, and it draws you in. The initial drop at 0:59 is a gentle emotional release, easy, restrained, and surreptitiously powerful, and it blossoms.
The second drop at 1:42 expands the experience by adding a deeper resonance that allows for greater emotional reach, even as it never lets go of its minimalist roots. Nan Macmillan’s feature adds an understated touch that smooths out the story and complements Qi Ming’s production style. They converse well, grounded in openness and honesty.
The lyric feels intimate, yet its expression remains universal in its portrayal of love and emotional proximity. This release is a sign of both artistic growth and validation, aided by the NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music, and Theatre (NYFA). It proves that Qi Ming is an artist unafraid of subtlety in an era that frequently demands spectacle. This music breathes, stays, and, since it is so quiet, leaves a powerful color.
