The idea of “Insomniac” as a Merlyn’s catalog entry appears to be a well-integrated combination of contemporary alternative pop and indie styles, primarily due to its eclectic tracklist and stylistic changes. Although there are no professional reviews available for this album, the variety of song titles such as “Friends to Lovers,” “Toxic,” and “Chanson D’amour” indicates that the artist is not afraid to explore the boundaries of lyrical and hook-based songwriting.
The sound on Insomniac is very much a reflection of modern pop-rock and singer-songwriter sensibilities, with a focus on rhythmic drive, melody, and vocal expression that conveys the story in each song. The tempo on the album veers from introspective to frenetic, capturing the restless emotional state that the title itself suggests. Whether in its more subdued balladry or in its more upbeat passages, Merlyn’s vocals on Insomniac strike a balance between production polish and emotional authenticity, such that the album is more than just a set of songs – it is an experience of the highs and lows of love, relationships, and self-discovery in the modern age
