New Album Announcement & Music Video

Hi all,

I’m very excited to announce that I have a new record coming out this year. It’s called You Are Always On My Mind, and is my first record in three years since imagine naked! came out in 2022. It is being released on March 28th via NNA Tapes and Phantom Limb. I’m also having a release show that same day at Market Hotel with my idols Dreamcrusher and Holland Andrews, so mark your calendars and cop an early release ticket ❤️

The first single “no good” is out today, and it’s releasing with a really special video directed by my bestie day ( dayday.studio on IG) , and is inspired by many nights we’ve had over the years being rave sisters and coming into our bodies together.

We filmed it at a time where I felt very uncomfortable in my body, but I just knew that this song needed a strong video and I just really really really wanted to hit some fucking choreography and lay it all out there lol (I’ve always been a fan of Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend video). But this is something I’ve continually done to myself, I feel compelled to push my body to its limits when I perform live and it feels important to me, but every time I do these things I feel a lot of fear and anxiety.

I was thinking about this as I sat down to write something, and I’m realizing that embodiment is just a really important part of my music. My music is my life, they exist together, and I love connecting it all— it feels like a pure manifestation of myself. And the fear that I continue to subject myself to kind of makes me feel…alive? Almost in a transcendent way, like if I can put myself out there and survive this then I can survive anything. And so I continue to push my comfort zone and drag my reluctant body along with me lol.

But this is how I’ve grown and learned about myself, and feel really proud of this video, as afraid of it as I am. I’ve received really positive feedback about it, and I just have to remind myself everyone is their worst critic…

If you’ve ever been to one of my live shows, you’ll see that the video references my live performances with the pulsing red lights, the physicality, and the inclusion of poetry. Because of this, I don’t know, this video feels really special to me and a sort of commemoration of this current iteration of my live performance which will inevitably change and become something different.

The poem at the end of the video is by my friend Olivia Sio Tse, and is all about dancing and raving as a liberatory experience. I believe it’s about going to Smart Bar in Chicago but you’d have to ask her to confirm, she’s @datababybase on instagram. I believe it really makes the video!

Anyways, thank you so much for watching and for your support. If you like the video, please share it :)
