Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of Los Angeles’ very own singer-songwriter, Harmony, as she unveils her latest track, “Shoplifting From Nike.” This enticing song is the second offering from her highly anticipated debut solo EP, Dystopia Girl, set to release on August 25th under Harmony’s Fantasy Corp. The track was produced in collaboration with Wyatt Bernard and Austin Corona, and it comes accompanied by a vibrant and playful music video directed by Morgan Maher. In the video, Harmony and her friends take us on a journey through a prismatic arcade, strut along Hollywood Boulevard with femme furries, and outsmart relentless security guards.
“Shoplifting From Nike” follows the lead single, “Good Things Take Time,” which arrived with an equally captivating music video directed by Maher. The lead single was brought to life through the combined efforts of Wyatt Bernard, Dylan Brady, Francis Brady, Micah Jasper, and mixed by Kayla Regan.
Reflecting on the meaning behind her latest single, Harmony shares, “‘Shoplifting from Nike’ delves into the struggle of navigating life’s burdens while crafting a persona that is unapologetically shameless, giving us the illusion that we can triumph over it all. It touches on modern spirituality, materialism, and disassociation, as well as the 2008 housing crisis. It’s about being both annoying and epic, having fun, and not taking life too seriously, all while deeply engaging with reality.”
Harmony, known for her poignant lyrics and delicate, evocative voice, has already made a name for herself as one-half of the acclaimed indie band, Girlpool. Her songwriting has garnered praise for its striking honesty and emotional clarity. With her venture into pop music, she brings the same poetic fervor and emotional intensity that have captivated audiences.
Having grown up in the heart of Hollywood, where shimmering fantasies collide with harsh realities, Harmony has always been drawn to contrasts. The juxtaposition of glamour and destitution in her hometown has instilled in her a fascination with the dichotomy of artifice and authenticity, leading her to view existence as an act of creation. Navigating this delicate dance with reality, Harmony sings of infinite worlds, restarts, and ethereal encounters from other dimensions. Her debut EP, Dystopia Girl, serves as an exhilarating exploration of the “holographic lie” that envelops an enchanted reality. Guided by her unwavering faith, as expressed in the lead single “Good Things Take Time,” Harmony fearlessly delves into introspective and raw songwriting, delving into the intricacies of the human experience with a depth and sensitivity rarely seen in pop music.
A true Libra, Harmony is obsessed with finding balance and merging opposing forces. The Dystopia Girl EP seamlessly weaves together ballads and upbeat tracks, exploring themes of certainty and doubt, mysticism and cynicism, fantasy and reality. It embodies both passionate intensity and graceful impartiality, embracing a blend of profound seriousness and playful frivolity. The Dystopia Girl EP is a concise emotional rollercoaster, where euphoric highs and devastating lows are experienced to their fullest and harmoniously presented.
Prepare yourself for an enchanting musical journey as Harmony unveils her debut solo EP, inviting you to join her in exploring the intricacies of the Dystopia Girl’s world, where emotions run wild and are woven together in perfect harmony.
