Mia Joy Shares "Freak" Single and Video from "Spirit Tamer"
Mia Joy, who has already seen cosigns from musical peers such as Sharon Van Etten (“I can’t wait to hear more”), is sharing her new single “Freak” today with a beautiful animated video. On the new track Mia Joy cuts through what is, ostensibly, a melancholic breakup song delving into the toxic aspects of attachment and imbues it with a sense of perseverance, self-reliance and reclamation of the self in an astoundingly effortless way. “Freak” also has a tongue in cheek reference to the iconic Korn song, with Mia explaining;
"I loved the imagery of that phrase, a freak on a leash as in feeling tied in a relationship you know is toxic but feeling bound to them, thus making you crazy or a “freak”. Once off the leash, the pain that was holding onto you, you can finally find your own way. I wanted to end it with a sense of reclaiming identity and independence and breaking free from the symbolic leash."
