i don’t know what i’m feeling is the aptly named debut album from the indie artist known as myah and it arrives in just two weeks.
Earlier this week, we got to hear the record in full and sit down with myah to talk about it. After one listen, it’s clear she poured every ounce of herself into these songs, sealing them with a kiss (and a few scars) for the world to hear on August 29.
The making of i don’t know what i’m feeling was a journey marked by transformation. What began as an optimistic chapter soon descended into darkness. Over the two years spent writing, myah faced heartbreak after heartbreak, more than most could endure. Just last year, she suffered the devastating loss of her brother, and much of the album carries the raw, unfiltered grief that came with it.
Originally from South Florida and now based in Los Angeles, myah isn’t just an indie newcomer. She’s a powerhouse producer whose fingerprints are on music videos for major artists, including The Marías (“Un Millon,” “All I Really Want Is You”), 24kGoldn’s summer anthem “Mood,” Kehlani’s “Little Story,” Steve Aoki’s “Ultimate” and “Invitame a Un Café,” Tinashe’s “X,” and Oliver Tree’s breakup ballad “Cowboys Don’t Cry,” just to name a few.
Now, myah is stepping in front of the camera, bringing a voice as bold and dynamic as the visuals she’s helped create. Her talent has already been recognized with a 2025 Telly Award for her self-directed music video, “the lobby.” With i don’t know what i’m feeling, she’s ready to show the world exactly what she’s been feeling, even when she can’t quite put it into words. The album boasts 17 tracks and explores every aspect of a relationship, even the messy parts.
Check out our interview below!
Breathepop: Hey myah! Your album is coming out in just about two weeks, how are you feeling?
myah: I’m really excited! It’s such a whirlwind of emotions because so much of my life changed while writing this album. When I started writing it in November in 2023. I was trying to figure out what my sound would be. I just entered a new relationship and a lot of things were on the up when I started writing, but as things progress I experienced really heavy heart break and my brother suddenly passed away. There was so much happening in my life that this feels like a special time capsule to me. Its crazy to have this piece of my life being shared with everybody.
BP: This album is so vulnerable. Which songs are you most excited for fans to finally hear?
myah: I’m really excited for fans to hear “So Serious” There is something about that song that is so fun. Its sort of a nod to old Blink 182 songs. It’s like an angsty early 2000’s vibe, which I grew up in. On the flip side, the song “Sentimental” because I don’t write too many songs that are classically love songs. “Sentimental” is this song about when you’re feeling butterflies and everything is positive. I hope it resonates with the fans because I haven’t really dropped anything like that.
BP: i don’t know what i’m feeling deals with many themes and reoccurring themes. Did you plan that going into the writing process?
myah: None of the tracks were really planned! Though, there were times when I thought of the album as a cohesive unit. There were a lot of songs about being discarded, so I needed to fill the rest of the album with some love songs and different things you experience when you think you’ve met the one. I like to think of it as a kaleidoscope. There is an emotion for every way you turn it.
You have to include some of those moments, like that are a little mischievous and when you don’t really care if it is messy. It was important for me to write songs that lean into that place. I wanted to capture all of those things you go through when you’re figuring things out.
BP: How did you decide the album was finished?
myah: I didn’t have any other emotions to express. So many things in my life changed. When I started writing I was in this bubbly ‘nothing can go wrong’ headspace and then things started to get darker. Then I kind of healed from it and had nothing more to say about this particular moment. I don’t think I left anything unsaid. I didn’t want it to be too much of a repeated theme. The songs definitely overlap, which was intentional, but it felt right to end it.
BP: You released an EP last year titled Is This What I See? How have things changed between then and now?
myah: I wrote these projects simultaneously. Is This What I See? is almost like a mature resolve with these relationships and themes. Whereas idkwif is like a raw messy side of love and these things. They are so different. It is exciting to see what the next project is going to be now that I have these two very different albums out there!
Pay attention to lyrics. There are a lot of repeat lyrics It’s not because I was running out of words. It was intentional! Like “Now or Never” and “Glitter” are sister tracks. They both talk about dreams. It’s the same dream but different context. So look out for these Easter Eggs!
BP: You are also a producer. You’ve made music videos for 24k Golden and Oliver Tree just to name a few. How did that career lead into making music?
myah:Yes! I am a director and producer. I own a production company so I’ve worked behind the scenes in music videos. I have this interesting perspective of being a behind-the-camera person in the film world and in-front-of- the- camera person in the music world. There are some interesting parallels.
BP: You’ve brought some of that magic to your own videos. Do you envision the visuals while writing your music?
myah: For me, I am so visual because of my film background. I see the story clearly in my head while writing the songs and then I have to adjust the video to the means I have to pull it off. Being self-funded makes it tricky. I view my songs as soundtrack narrations. In my earlier videos I did the classic perform for the camera type videos, but I realized that’s not me. That’s what you get with the entirely of my artistry. My brain works in this expansive world building way and music videos are just a part of that.
BP: So much has gone into writing this album. What’s next for you after this?
myah: For this album I am a member of Grammy U. So, this year I can submit my album for best Alternative Album. It’s a bit ambitious, but we are going to campaign it and see if they are into it. Outside of that, I’ll just be marketing the album trying to get it out there. The interesting thing about being an indie artist is you are kind of told to not make albums. They say to wait until you have a song like “Driver’s License” or “Good Luck, Babe” blow up and then go for the album. I don’t even know what my “Good Luck, Babe” is. It was important to me to drop this album and have people listen to it. There’s still so much work to do to get it in front of people.
BP: We have time for one last question. I’ve been told you’re the one to ask- where is the best place to get a croissant?
myah: Don’t let them fool you! I went to France and not every place is good! Paris was very hit or miss. Go to Nice!
