Multifaceted Norwegian-American pop auteur Okay Kaya returns with her new single “Check Your Face” off her highly anticipated album, Oh My God—That’s So Me, out September 6th. Coinciding with the track is a Lou Beauchard-directed stop-motion video depicting the song’s bewildering world of emotions. To better illustrate the song’s underlying playful nature, Kaya picked out a famous quote by Australian journalist-writer Clive James: “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”
She adds, “Wrote this slacker disco song about wanting to be, if not a not a brightsider, then at least a belly laugher. Sometimes tricky to access just that bliss, but if you’re happy and you know it, check your face! It was fun and warming to make this track on the island during a frigid winter. It was a quiet time without much social stimuli. If you’re gonna dance alone in your basement, might as well make a song-to-dance match.”
