There\u2019s a sense of space and breath in OHYUNG<\/u><\/a>\u2019s music. The composer, musician and artist has made a name for themself through their ambient and experimental work, alongside their contributions to film and TV, scoring Julio Torres<\/u><\/a>\u2019s 2024 whimsical comedy Problemista<\/em><\/em> and HBO series Fantasmas. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

On their forthcoming project, You Are Always On My Mind, <\/em><\/em>OHYUNG maintains their previous work\u2019s roomy sense of feeling while adapting it to the more familiar structure of pop. \u201cno good<\/u><\/a>,\u201d a single off their forthcoming project, features darkly desolate drums, trepidatious string drones and vocals that are delivered with both restraint and power. There is the recognizable presence of a chorus, but still the floaty uncertainty of ambience remains. OHYUNG\u2019s new single, \u201ci swear that i could die rn,\u201d continues this musical thread, pairing looping drums with airy layers of strings to create space for OHYUNG\u2019s steady vocals. \u201cThe song is inspired by the feeling of experiencing something so divine and good that if you died right then and there it would be A-Okay,\u201d OHYUNG tells PAPER<\/em><\/em>, connecting that feeling to the experience of dancing to an especially memorable set by DJ Goth Jafar<\/u><\/a> at Paragon<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video, created by taehee<\/u><\/a> and featuring original animation, depicts a current and future OHYUNG uniting on the dance floor. Interspersed with footage from misty clubs and animated kaleidoscopes, the video reflects the deeply emotional, often ecstatic experience of New York City nightlife. \u201cI hear OHYUNG\u2019s \u2018i swear that i could die rn\u2019 as a song about queer euphoria in rave spaces,\u201d Tahee shares. \u201cIt got me thinking about how we discuss transition timelines in the trans community often as a clean break between before and after. The music video\u2019s concept is an ode to both my past self and my ideal future, guiding me to my queer euphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

PAPER<\/em> chatted with OHYUNG and taehee about creating this unique song and video, the joys of dancing and the deep feelings behind the song.<\/p>\n
