Brooklyn artist and producer Yohuna - real name Johanne Swanson – has released her brand new single ‘Dead to Me’ – taken from her new album ‘Mirroring’ – which will be out 07 June

 2019 via Fear of Missing Out Records (UK) and Orchid Tapes (US).

 

Produced by Eric Littmann (Julie Byrne, Vagabon, Phantom Posse), ‘Dead to Me’ is Yohuna’s angry, flip-off pop song about the cathartic process of cutting difficult people out of your life. Johanne elaborates:

 

“I hope this song is comforting to anyone who has to draw a hard boundary or even cut someone out that they care about. That’s a

hard thing to do. When I was younger, I walked into fire because

I was curious what it felt like. I knew it was going to burn, but I

just had to know. Sometimes people burn you and it’s not fair,

but it’s your responsibility to make sure they don’t do that

again. That might mean filing them away into the

“Dead to Me” catalogue of your life.”

 

Accompanying the track is the light-hearted video directed by Mark Lukenbill, which sees

Emily Yacina plot to murder Johanne and steal her song ‘Dead to Me’, as Mark explains:

 

“We all agreed the video couldn't be a bummer. It had to be cathartic, a little bit sneeringly over It. The idea of thieving a creative identity was itself lifted from Morvern Callar; and Em plays a great Samantha Morton.

This was like the purest collaboration and so much fun and I hope it

shows.”

 

Yohuna’s new album ‘Mirroring’ is released 07 June 2019 Via Fear of Missing Out Records and Orchid Tapes.
