Newsletter: LINYING PREMIERES VIBRANT NEW SINGLE/VIDEO “HAPPINESS” VIA NYLON Q&A

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

LA-via-Singapore artist Linying today shared her effervescent new single “Happiness,” the final preview of her new EP House Mouse, out now via Nettwerk; pre-save House Mouse HERE. The track arrives with a Michelle Mei-directed video filmed with a spirit of playful spontaneity on an island in the Philippines, which premiered last November 17 at NYLON alongside a Q&A. “Happiness” is a sonic burst of pure euphoria, rushing forward on pulse-quickening rhythms as Linying channels the thrill of post-breakup freedom. "I used to feel all endings with one-dimensional grief, but this one had complexity—there was pain and liberation but also fear; there was the thrill of new desire, so messy and lighthearted at the same time. And then there was the peace of knowing it was all going to be okay,” she explains. “It was blissful and instinctive, and the song kind of wrote itself.”
