Is Everything Going OK? EP

by PSY’AVIAH

supported by

Matt Hammond Huong Su managed to push the track to every limit imaginable making it almost impossible to recognise (especially in the club trance remix). What a collab!

Miles O'Dicks Psyaviah is this type of artist who really loves his music, and it is contagious. OK is one of the bangers from the belgian producer that morphs into something way bigger than it was originally. The elegance of migrating from techno industrial to melancholic trip hop is truly impressive, and shows how much PSYÁVIAH has developed his production skills.

Super B 11 years later OK still sounds fresh and relevant. A dozen of remixes picked with exquisite taste and care, a wonderful listen for every fan of electronic music.
Favorite track: Ok (rediscovered) (ft. Huong Su).

Singla Reimagination of Psyaviahs older track from 2011 ended up in a massive EP Is everything going OK, which explores the depths of the song from every possible angle, from breakbeat to straight indie pop. New EP really breathes new life into the song, highlighting how well it aged.

about

On the recent “Bittersweet” album, the Belgian act PSY’AVIAH also surprised us by revisiting two of their biggest hit songs: “Tired” and “Ok”, fully rearranging them for the occasion of the band’s 20th anniversary celebration.

Today, Yves Schelpe brings the surprise one step further by releasing a new video clip and extended EP for this amazing PSY’AVIAH classic song “Ok”!

Originally released back in 2011, the new 2022 version benefits from the artist’s ever evolving production skills and features new stunning vocal melodies sung by Huong Su with additional guitars and carrying violins by Irina Markevich, metamorphosing this song into a more triphop / indie pop tune.

“Ok” questions the depth of that social question we use at almost every human encounter asking mechanically “how are you?”, expecting “Ok” as automatic answer without really paying attention nor trying to find out what truth really lurks behind this or considering being empathic… “Everything is going Ok” being nothing but a window-dressing expression, some kind of emotional mask. Well, the essence of the tongue-in-cheek message of this song was beautifully translated into this must-see slow-motion video clip, result of Yves Schelpe’s fruitful collaboration talented actress Gwendolin Harissa Van Jole & Gwenny Cooman of GNY Photography. Just go and watch that alien desperately trying to connect with the strange humans that we all can be sometimes!

This new “rediscovered” version of “Ok” gets released with some 12 bonus remixes from all kinds of music genres from industrial-electro to pure club trance, to synthpop & Italo-disco inspired versions, to ambient and even old school jungle breakbeats. “It is a reflection of listening to other influences as well - so it ties nicely into the narrative of "Ok" and listening further...” explains Yves Schelpe.

As always, PSY’AVIAH proves that it’s very possible writing electro pop songs with heavy messages and extracting shimmering lights from darker tunes…

LYRICS

Ok, everything's going ok,
Smoothly gently quietly
'cause everything's going ok,
Everything's, ahaa

Tada, ok
Tada, ahaa
Ok, ok
Tada

No one knows what it feels like,
No one knows how it feels,
No one knows how I feel

Being broken,
Inside ruptured, soaking,
Wet of sweat, but ok,
Never mind problems creeping
Keep me awake

Ok, ok
Tada, ahaa
Ok, ok
Tada, ahaa

No one knows what it feels like,
No one knows how it feels,
No one knows how I feel

Excellent drum programming & love the synth programming as well. Cool melodics and basslines, but above all, lyrics and awesome vocal delivery! Lyrics, the breaks & drums and high-pitched voices on "Trust" speak to me a lot! Yves Schelpe (Psy'Aviah)
