myah Turns Breakups into Horror Comedy in New “dissolve” Video

Los Angeles alt/indie-pop singer-songwriter and filmmaker myah is serving camp, chaos, and catharsis in the official music video for her emo-tinged track “dissolve,” out now. Directed and edited by myah herself, the video leans into horror-comedy mayhem as she puts a cinematic spin on heartbreak and, well, her own questionable life choices.

“The opening lyric of dissolve is, ‘uh oh, I’ve done it again,’ which is me calling myself out for making the same mistakes and then crashing out over them,” myah explains. “If my songs tell the story of my life, then the music videos are the heightened versions of those stories. I think that’s why I like directing and editing these so much.”

For myah, music videos aren’t just visuals , they’re mini-movies. Last year’s “the lobby” paid homage to Scream, and this time around she’s leaning into Happy Death Day energy. “I love horror comedies, and I couldn’t think of anything more manic than watching someone you love not only break up with you on repeat, but also die. How do you break the cycle?” she says.

The track comes hot on the heels of her debut album i don’t know what i’m feeling, a 17-song confessional that sees myah piecing herself back together through butterflies, breakdowns, and bittersweet self-discovery. “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,” she shares. “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.”

From directing award-winning videos (“the lobby” snagged a Telly Award and over 160K views) to producing visuals for The Marías, Kehlani, and Tinashe, myah is carving out her own genre-smashing corner where horror meets heartbreak and emo-pop gets cinematic. As she puts it best: “When a myah video drops, I’m taking you to the movies.”
