~ About the Artist ~
myah is back. myah is back. myah is BACK!
Earlier this year, the Cali-based artist treated us all with the release of her debut EP, IS THIS WHAT I SEE, an 8-song exhibition in pop, alt-pop music that truly showcased her wonderful talent. Fifteen Minutes of Fame reviewed IS THIS WHAT I SEE, which you can read here, if you’d like.
myah debuted in 2023, with her single, Hide and hasn’t stopped for one moment. Since making the move to L.A. from South Florida, myah has been making a name for herself in tinsel town as a musician, producer, and actress. She has built a solid foundation on social media, garnering nearly 100,000 followers and subscribers across all platforms like TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram. Often, when she releases new music, it comes with a fully produced music video. For instance, one of my first and favorite blind reactions was for her stand-alone single, The Lobby, and her Telly-Award Winning music video, which she starred in, produced, and directed and has been watched on YouTube nearly 200,000 times.
One might look at her and think, “she’s one in a million indie artists trying to make it,” and that is where one might be mistaken. myah has produced music videos for The Marias, 24kGoldn, Kehlani, Steve Aoki, Tinashe, Oliver Tree, and many more.
A couple of months ago, myah began teasing big news which inevitably became the news that she would be releasing her debut, LP. This news came with a number of treats. For instance, a single from said upcoming album, dodging bullets, which also included an epic music video. Once again, I couldn’t resist the chance to shoot a blind reaction for it, which you can see below:
With another release earlier this month, glitter, myah is poised to make her very exciting debut.
myah is stylistically an indie pop, indie rock, alt pop, punk pop artist who has demonstrated an ability to be diverse, dynamic, and experimental. Her songs can be digitally infused, or they can be simple and organic. Regardless of which, the highlight comes from a strong, unique vocal presence that has no issue in reminding her audience of how capable she is as a performer.
Her music isn’t just melodically boastful, either. myah is a proven lyricist. She is a passionate songwriter who has shared moments of truly vulnerable experiences, she has exhibited humor and wit that is exceptionally advanced, and in her words, “avoids pronouns in her lyrics when she can, so anyone and everyone can be the lead character in her songs.”
“Being a romantic is hard because you grow up thinking that you’re going to find your person in a serendipitous kind of way, and then when you think you do, even that ends poorly and you start to crash out a little.” ~ myah
~ About the Album ~
i don’t know what i am feeling is the debut album of Los Angeles’ indie artist, myah. It features a mixture of previously released and unreleased music, 17 songs that run, all encompassing, for just under one hour. It was written by myah and Lina Cooper, produced, mixed, and mastered by Tripped N Sat, features a drum performance by Ben Pham on the songs so serious and by the trees (we live to lie) and a string performance by Gregory Allison on the song desperate.
“i don’t know what i’m feeling is an album that explores every feeling you experience when you think you’ve met the one, but it doesn’t work out. It’s a collection of every emotion: wonder, lust, feeling the butterflies, falling in love, but also heartbreak, anger, and ultimately, resolve.” ~ myah
i don’t know what i am feeling releases on August 29th, 2025, after the current released singles always want you, now or never, hurricane, dodging bullets, and glitter. Additionally, these singles each feature music videos that can be found on myah’s YouTube Channel, where she has nearly 40,000 subscribers.
~ About the Music ~
As an established fan of myah, there is a lot to be excited about with regarding i don’t know what i am feeling. First, myah has been releasing great music since 2023. Many of the songs that have been released have been established, stand alone singles like always want you, now or never, and hurricane. Having a familiarity to these songs puts me in a space that I recognize as I process the collective work. Knowing that these incredible records, that are special on their own, now have a body of work they also belong to is a good decision. It gives these songs the respect they deserve; another shot at being recognized for the great work they are.
In addition to the previously released work, myah has put forth a great social media campaign and release schedule ahead of the release. First with the release of the single and music video for dodging bullets on June 20th, followed by glitter on August 1st, and closure, a music video that served as the official announcement for the album release. The music video for dodging bullets plays almost like a film, where myah stars as the hero, a young maiden who once had a lover who came back and slaughtered all of the occupants of her village, before she unleashed her wrath as she sought to take vengeance for the unforgiveable act of, you know, killing every single person she knew and loved (thank god there were no puppies in that village). Being a person who “considers herself a cinematic romantic,” (myah) she couldn’t have picked a better way to kick of the release campaign. That, along with the video for glitter, which serves as another extravagant cinematic experience where she and her lover have a sort of “Bonnie and Clyde” story, as they hole up in a mansion with piles of loot they just have lying around. Eventually though, myah’s “Bonnie” would be captured by a twinkle-toed detective, seemingly betrayed by her “Clyde” as, when given an opportunity to save her, he instead flees with the cash, leaving us with the fateful “to be continued.” And then, of course, there’s closure, an avant-garde short film, shot in black and white, featuring myah in a bubble bath. I probably don’t have to go into any more detail than that.
Then, there is the new music that everybody who tunes in on August 29th will be hearing for the first time. The songs that are integrated into the previously released tracks and tie every last bit of the saga together. Songs like dissolve that mesh her pop sound with an indie folk intro before going hard in to her alt pop wheelhouse. Songs like desperate that show us a side of myah we’ve never seen before, backed by a beautiful string presence before exploding in a rock-heavy, anthemic, climax. Songs like by the trees (we live to die) that lean hard into her alt pop and pop punk roots. Tying these 17 songs together in this way gives every moment a purpose as if they’re rooted in past, present, and future experiences.
“The album is a love letter to my 20’s. 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.” ~ myah
i don’t know what i am feeling presents itself in sort of segments. There are “interlude” tracks like it’s a trap, strange phenomenon, and closure. That split the album into three acts. As each new act begins, the listener is presented with a new atmosphere. It’s not a simple idea like “beginning, middle, and end,” or how lovers fall in love, then fight, then break up; myah’s writing is more complex and creative than that. She envelops her experiences into the writing and identifies that every stage of life has balancing components. Like a baker, in order to make even the sweetest pastries, salt is added to the dough. Adversely, no matter how dark a room is, the capability to see a reflection, a pile of dirty laundry, or an unmade bed, is evidence of light existing somewhere, shining through, color that prevents the sable from breaking us.
As the album concludes, it doesn’t feel like an ending. It feels unanswered. In this story, we don’t know how our narrator fares. “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 am feeling.”
~ Final Thoughts ~
This album couldn’t have been executed any better. And this is a debut! If I’m being quite honest, it doesn’t feel like a debut, having been introduced to myah’s music already. It’s an evolved conceptual work from a proven, talented young artist. But I’m not going to be the only one tuning in tomorrow. There are going to be thousands of people listening who will be pressing play on a myah work for the first time. I’m kind of jealous of them. They’re going to experience something that is deeply layered, and perhaps more cerebral than they will even realize upon the first listen. For any of these first time listeners who happen to find this article in an effort to understand, I want to remind them of something. myah is a great storyteller. She is a great director. She is a great writer. These songs, singularly and collectively, cannot be taken at the surface level. They’re deep. They’re what it’s like when we fall in love and our insecurities and self-doubt creep in and make us self-sabatoge or second guess ourselves. They are the times we remember, in our worst fights, how much we love the person we are yelling at or arguing with. They are the tears that flow when we leave the person that has consistently hurt us for the past few months or even years. They are the sadness we feel when we start to have feelings for somebody new. A sadness that misses that person. That awful person who we loved so deeply for so long. Who a part of us still loves and will always love.
These aren’t simple love songs because myah found out the hard way that love isn’t simple. One thing every great philosopher has in common with the other is they all attest that the more answers they learn, the more questions they discover. myah might not be Aristotle, Plato, Galileo, or any of the other ancient philosophers who were bold enough to tell people the world isn’t flat, or some other radical (for its time) concept, or maybe she is more like them than we realize. In the end, this isn’t a story that resolves with a “they live happily ever,” or some other fantastical concept; a lie that was spoon fed to us as children on the television while our parents argued about bills, addictions, and affairs in the other rooms. This isn’t cynicism that suggests all love and all experiences are bad, all men are assholes, and the best answer is to just don’t give a fuck about any of it. The answer is right there for us. “i don’t know what i am doing.” The truth is, none of us do. We’re all trying to figure it out. It’s a realization that myah will definitely not be finding herself excluded from the rest of us.
As far as the art goes, however, myah does know what she’s doing. This album is laid out perfectly. It is melodical, poetic, and emotional. It is sentimental, it is experience, and it is fascination. It is poised to be a hit, possessing all of the strength and capability to carry her over to mainstream success. As a musician, as an actress, as a visionary, myah knows exactly what she is doing.
