Shrouded in an enigma and unwrapped layer by layer through impeccable storytelling, Alias Wayne's "Ms. Mystery" is more than just a song - it's a gripping musical narrative that you won't want to put down.
The song begins with an infectious funky acoustic guitar rhythm, capturing your attention from the very first note. This is quickly complemented by a groovy drumbeat, a testament to Alias Wayne's musical prowess and keen sense of rhythm. There's a certain allure that's difficult to define, yet impossible to ignore.
Then enters Alias Wayne's voice. Distinctly reminiscent of the tonal quality of David Bowie and echoing the raw passion of Bruce Springsteen, it immediately evokes a sense of familiarity, yet stands uniquely in its own right. Wayne's exceptional musicianship is underscored by his deeply personal vocal presentation, making each song a raw and riveting experience.
"Ms. Mystery" is defined by its intriguing rhythmic chops, with Wayne's vocals dancing around the melody. He cleverly incorporates extended pauses that not only allow the instrumentation to shine through, but also add to the suspense, much like the quiet before a storm. This is no ordinary song structure; it's a captivating choreography of sounds that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Adding another dimension to the song are the gorgeous female vocal harmonies that lace the track from beginning to end. Serving as a beautiful contrast to Wayne's vocals, they enhance the track's psychedelic essence while anchoring it with a touch of modernity.

The song truly feels like a modern psychedelic rock epic. The thunderous toms, the abstract arrangement, all bear striking similarities to tracks off The Beatles' iconic album Magical Mystery Tour, yet "Ms. Mystery" establishes its own identity.
