about

“Blue Rhythm'' evokes the underlying pulse that drives us forward beyond the sufferings of the ego, even though our efforts may never be enough in the endless cycle of desire and attainment. The warbly, melancholic keys build upon a house beat while the lyrics oscillate between stark vulnerability and blind confidence, echoing June's Korean contemporaries, Park Hye Jin, Yaeji and Peggy Gou.

The artwork was painted by Chons, interpreting an inward gaze at a psychedelic blue lotus that June would envision behind her eyelids while meditating.

lyrics

My heart is blue
I shut the door on you
I’m scared to open it
And find a river of tears
On the other side
Wash away my pride

Got it on lock
Don’t stop Don’t stop
Never get enough
Pull up Pull up
Comin in hot
Runnin the clock
It’s never enough
Turn up Turn up

Pull up pull up
It’s never enough

Evening joy ride
And then I fall asleep
My head on your heartbeat
You know the rhythm is deep
Deep inside the universe
It all led up to this

It’s never enough
Turn up Turn up
It’s never enough
