Jay Som Shares "Past Lives (ft. Hayley Williams)"

Jay Som – the project of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Melina Duterte – just released Belong, her first new album in over six years. Belong features Jay Som’s first-ever collaborations and today she shares a music video for one of the album’s biggest moments – “Past Lives” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore.

Studio Sparks (Cristiana Figueiredo & Lucas Moreira) who directed the video note:

“We wanted the animation to reflect the journey of personal discovery that the song represents. We imagined a tiny, music-box-sized character who escapes into a vast frozen world, haunted by shadowy reflections of her past self as she travels through melting cliffs, falling stars, and cracking ice — a fragmented narrative mirroring her emotions and confusions through surreal sequences. Caught between collapse and transformation, she spirals upward through abstract scenes of memory and feeling, ultimately reconnecting with all the lives that live within her.”
