Today, Los Angeles-based alt/indie pop singer-songwriter and filmmaker myah announces her debut album i don't know what i'm feeling due out August 29. With the announcement, the artist shares glistening track "glitter" out now with its cinematic official music video, inspired by Bonnie & Clyde.
The forthcoming punchy LP is a confessional, bittersweet reflection on the highs and lows of love and self-discovery. Through 17 tracks, the musician captures falling in and out of love–the butterflies, joy, turbulence, heartache, anger and everything in between–as she comes to terms with love not always being the fairytale it appears to be. Myah shares, "It touches on the crisis you experience as you start to get older and realize that romance and love aren’t what you’ve been told your whole life. It’s toxic and devastating and confusing; it can feel like you’re on top of the world one day and then like your whole world is falling apart the next."
A cohesive body of work, each song seamlessly flows together to weave a true, heartfelt story of love and loss and navigating through one's twenties. Myah continues,"Every song is intertwined from start to finish and it’s meant to be listened to in order. It’s designed so that when people finish the album, they’re left wondering where I am now, and the truth is, I don’t know either. Because, well..i don’t know what i’m feeling."
Often donning glitter, myah has become known to leave a shimmery trail. "Glitter" is a pure love song with a glossy melody. Myah explains, "It was inspired by someone telling me they found my glitter in their apartment and thought of me. That really stuck with me, the idea of glitter as my calling card. It’s about those small, physical traces that stay behind when you’re in love."
Its matching music video unfolds like a movie–inspired by Bonnie & Clyde, 1950s and Scooby Doo–complete with a cliffhanger ending and comedic moments. Myah says, "I like curating experiences versus a singular aesthetic. My last music video, 'dodging bullets,' was a medieval epic, whereas glitter has more comedy and is a bit softer. It's not what you would expect after releasing something so gory, and that's the point. I don't want anyone to be able to guess what world I'm going to transport them to next."
