Miya Folick Releases New Song ‘Alaska’

    Miya Folick has dropped a new single, ‘Alaska’. It follows last month’s ‘La Da Da’, and you can check it out via the accompanying visual below.

    ‘Alaska’ is inspired by the line “desire is a buffalo standing on my chest” from Jeremy Radin’s poem ‘Dear Sal’. “The song is me exploring the weight of my fear of losing my relationship, but also finding comfort in the fact that if I did, things would be okay,” Folick explained in a statement. “The line ‘I could lose you’ is a double entendre. When we translated it into Japanese for the cover art, we used the verb for ‘I am able to” and the verb for ‘It is possible [to lose you].’ This song is both a coming to terms with how much my relationship matters to me, and how much I value my relationship to myself. I would be so sad if I lost this person in my life, but it would be equally as sad if I lost myself.”
