Los Angeles-based electro-pop visionary Evalyn has released her blistering new single “Playstation” – a hyperpop-infused storm of thrashing guitars and glitchy melodies that marks a bold new era for the artist. The track, accompanied by a visually striking music video (filmed while six months pregnant), captures the guilty euphoria of screen-addicted escapism, with Evalyn smashing TVs and submerged in water to embody the song’s themes of digital overwhelm.
From Bedridden to Breakthrough
Written during a nausea-filled pregnancy where “bed became my universe,” “Playstation” twists lethargy into art, mirroring the dissonant soundscapes of Aphex Twin and Grimes. The video’s destructive imagery – drenched figures, shattered screens – mirrors Evalyn’s upcoming album A Quiet Life (out [DATE]), which explores modern anxiety through the lens of impending motherhood.
A Career of Cathartic Pop
With 130M+ Spotify streams and collaborations (Louis the Child’s “Fire”, Dillon Francis), Evalyn has long fused raw emotion with dancefloor-ready hooks. Her 2018 album Salvation delved into self-reinvention, while A Quiet Life pushes further into experimental darkness, recorded entirely during her pregnancy.
