Singer/songwriter Anya Marina has shared her new single and music video, “UR Good,” from her upcoming album Asteroid, which arrives October 25th, 2024. The track is made up of 80s dancefloor synthesizers, a drum machine, and lush harmonies and is “sung from the perspective of a deep space droid reflecting on both its own mortality and that of the deceased Earthling whose cell phone it found.” The track’s animated video is by Billy Polard.
Marina says:
Like a lot of songs on the album, “UR Good” touches on our species and our planet at this particular moment in time. This is set far in the future, when earthlings appear to be long gone. But our protagonist, a robot or droid, is having some very human feelings and questions as it picks up an old smartphone and reads an old text exchange (or perhaps gets it to interact).
Marina calls Asteroid “a coming-of-age story about a late bloomer. This record is about growing up, becoming fully who I am, and celebrating it.”
Newly married and recently landed in Kingston, NY, Marina crafted Asteroid’s songs from a newfound period of stability. Asteroid, her first studio album since Covid lockdown, finds her feeling “free of things that were pulling me down, getting in my way.”
