Mui Zyu – The Rules of What An Earthling Can Be
Today, British Hong Kong London-based artist mui zyu shares “the rules of what an earthling can be,” the fourth single to preview from her anticipated sophomore album, nothing or something to die for, out May, 24, 2024 via Father/Daughter Records.
In her latest, memorably hypnotic single, mui zyu (aka Eva Liu) shares empowerment in challenging societal standards placed on us. In the visual directed by Danny Grant, 3D artist and Dama Scout member, Liu lays out the rules straight to you from a vintage TV in a dreamlike haze. “The rules of what an earthling can be” is the follow-up to “sparky,” featuring lei, e.
On the track, Eva Liu shares: “an alien sprouts in a library and shows us two doors. they assure us one of the doors leads to a better universe. however the other door will drag us back to reality under the never-ending curse of the harmful rulebooks earthlings force upon each other. in this cruel world people’s bodies are policed and their dreams are crushed. thankfully the alien will help us choose the right door.”
On the video, director Danny Grant shares: “Well presented traditional 1 bed cave offered on a fully furnished basis. Located under a popular dirt mound with excellent local amenities. The property comprises spacious open plan living space, striking spiral staircase and multiple portals. TV license included.”
mui zyu has a strong upcoming UK festival run including performances at: End of the Road, Manchester Psych Fest and more. She has also recently announced her first full UK headline tour for October
