Artemas, myself | Song Review

[usr 4]

English singer, songwriter & producer Artemas is on a downward spiral thanks to his ex-girlfriend on the dark, selfish, yet enjoyable single, “myself.”

[nx_pullquote]“Each night that I spiral thinkin’ ‘bout you / ‘Cause I hate to see you happier than me.”[/nx_pullquote] English singer, songwriter, and producer Artemas (Artemas Diamandis) has himself in mind on “myself”. Now that’s plain selfish! “Myself” is the 10^th track from his 2026 mixtape, getting up to no good.  Artemas wrote and produced it himself.

“Myself” begins abruptly, with Artemas singing the first verse.  Once more, he gives us a minor key that amplifies the dark vibes.  The tempo is slower, with Artemas delivering an expressive, well-rounded vocal. His falsetto, which appears during the chorus, is delightful – incredibly ripe. Fittingly, he gives us the f-bombs we deserve during the chorus. Those bombs only accentuate his emotions, as he sings about wanting this girl for himself, and how he feels jealous when she fucks somebody else.

“Even if it hurts, I want you to myself

I want you to myself

I want you to myself

Even though you fucked me up, I want you to myself…

Did you know you broke my heart

When you fucked somebody else?”

… I want you to myself.”

Ooh-wee! That’s deep.  Even with the edge, the melodies are tuneful, while the lyrics are memorable.  I mean, you never forget fucking lyrics, do you? The second verse continues Artemas’ spiral: “Maybe I’ll just hook up with your best friend / She was always for the taking anyways.” Charming. All told, “Myself” marks another winning, dark pop record for Artemas.  Never change, A.D.
