‘Miniature Man’ by Ines Rae

After turning heads with the evocative ‘Breadcrumbs’, UK pop provocateur Ines Rae is back, sharper than ever, with ‘Miniature Man’ – a deceptively breezy anthem that skewers indecision with lyrical bite and melodic finesse. Riding the momentum of some viral moments, the singer-songwriter doubles down on her knack for sticky hooks and emotional precision.

Built on stripped-back verses that rise into electric, technicolour choruses, ‘Miniature Man’ balances sonic polish with lyrical grit. “It’s an anthem for anyone tired of being someone’s ‘maybe,’” Ines shares, and the track plays exactly like that: a self-aware rally cry for anyone who’s been strung along. With her signature indie-pop sparkle and an ear for inventive rhythm, Ines makes confronting emotional ambiguity feel strangely euphoric.

Part of her hotly anticipated forthcoming EP, the single proves Inés isn’t here to play small. She’s collaborated with songwriting royalty – from Jake Gosling to Shura – and graced the soundtrack of Emily in Paris. Now with over sixteen million TikTok likes and support from Spotify’s biggest playlists, Inés is crystallising her place in the next-gen pop echelon.
