July 28, 2023 – Los Angeles artist and producer meija is excited to share a new version of his popular single, “Buttons,” with featured vocals from Eastside LA neighbor Harmless. Inspired by the creative process he explored while writing and recording his latest effort Do Ya?, Sierota revisits his indie anthem with a refreshed perspective, adding complex textures and a playful rhythm. He explains, “Buttons was the second song that I put out for this project. meija was such a new idea at that point. I’ve learned a lot as a solo artist and a producer since I started this project, and I’ve gotten much more into analog and live recording. I had this idea that it could be a fun experiment to see how I would tackle this song now, four years later, more in the style of Do Ya?. It was really fun to bring in all the musicians I used on that record on this new version. I thought it would be great if I also brought in another vocal on it. I connected with Harmless and discussed the idea with him. He recorded some background vocals that I think really add a nice additional touch.”
For the music video, he decided to take a chance on an up-and-coming new young director, so young, they are not even ten years old. The buzzy talent is Sierota’s seven-year-old son Django, who, once given the reigns to create, pulled off a fun, off-kilter, colorful video that even much older and seasoned directors will be in awe of. When asked about making the clip, Django explains, “I kinda already did the video, so I don’t think I need to do that?”
