mira Lyrics – rommulas | from “ANIMÁL”

Rommulas is clawing out of the underground haze with ANIMÁL, his debut EP that dropped December 19 via independent grind, and “mira” is the glitchy gut-punch that sneaks up on you like a late-night DM—raw desire wrapped in neon static, begging you to stare back before it all pixels out.

This one, co-produced by frequent collaborator 2hollis and Jonah Abraham, fuses hyperpop’s warped edges with trap-soul confessions: shimmering synths that stutter like a skipped heartbeat, under Rommulas’ breathy flows that flip vulnerability into a velvet trap. It’s got that Chicago-bred urgency from his 2hollis ties—think glitchy builds crashing into emotional freefalls, where Spanish whispers (“mira, mira”) loop like a mantra for the ones who got away.

Thematically, it’s all tangled longing: chasing shadows in the rearview, the thrill of being seen amid the numb, pulling from Roman Leal’s own spiral of fleeting connections and self-reckoning. First previewed live on 2hollis’ Star Tour kickoff in San Diego back on September 19—where Rommulas owned the stage with raw, unpolished energy that had the crowd chanting snippets—it was the spark that lit the EP’s fuse, fans bootlegging clips that blew up TikTok overnight.

ANIMÁL itself? It’s a tight seven-track fever dream, clocking under 20 minutes of boundary-blurring bliss—no filler, just Leal unpacking the beast within through love’s wild swings. Opener “No Me Importa” sets the shrug-off tone, sliding into unreleased gems like “feeling like” and this “mira” stunner, before hitting peaks with “insane,” the 2hollis-feat “option,” and closers “rosa” and “mami” that nod to his bilingual roots. Recorded in piecemeal LA sessions post his breakout “left to right” collab with 2hollis earlier this year, it’s less a concept drop, more a mood board for the chaos of 20-something ache—hyperpop haze meets rap’s raw nerve, proving Rommulas isn’t chasing trends; he’s wiring them wrong on purpose.

Leal’s exploding onto the scene at 22, the Houston-raised phenom who traded bedroom demos for Star Tour opener slots, turning viral SoundCloud whispers into 300K monthly streams. Fresh off that September tour wave—where he teased ANIMÁL cuts to packed houses from San Diego to NYC—he’s evolving from 2hollis’ shadow into a solo siren, blending Spanglish soul with glitch-glam that screams for festival fog machines. It’s his roar: the kid who sampled heartbreak into hits is done hiding; he’s the animal now, teeth and all.
