Los Angeles-based alt-pop artist and filmmaker myah is back with another cinematic breakdown—and this time, love hurts like hell… literally.

Her self-directed music video for “dissolve”—a horror-comedy spin on the emo-tinged track from her debut album i don’t know what i’m feeling—is out now, and it’s the kind of manic heartbreak only a genre-bending mind like myah’s could deliver.

Naked honesty meets scream queen satire in a looping narrative where her partner not only dumps her repeatedly—but dies every time. Breakup. Death. Reset. Repeat.

“The opening lyric of ‘dissolve’ is, ‘uh oh, I’ve done it again,’ which is me calling myself out for making the same mistakes and then crashing out over them,” myah explains. “If my songs tell the story of my life, then the music videos are the heightened versions of those stories.”

Fans of ‘Scream’ may remember her Telly Award–winning video for “the lobby,” but dissolve twists that slasher DNA into something darker and funnier. This time, Christopher Landon’s Happy Death Day takes center stage as a core inspiration.

“I love horror comedies, and I couldn’t think of anything more manic than watching someone you love not only break up with you on repeat, but also die,” she says. “How do you break the cycle?”

Travis’ Take: A Sharp, Bloody Spin on the Breakup Loop

Here’s the thing: this video feels less like a music video and more like a proper short film. myah really leans into the Happy Death Day energy, with a splash of Scream for good measure. There’s a ton of humor tucked between the heartbreaks, and what I appreciated most is how they pulled the plug on the rinse-and-repeat dynamic just in time—before it gets old.

The song itself is clearly about heartbreak and dealing with someone unruly—a feeling a lot of us know all too well. It’s relevant, it’s real, and myah gets busy with it. What makes it even doper is that she not only wrote and performed the song, but directed and edited the video too. There’s real filmmaking chops here. Honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised if she makes the leap into directing horror features sometime soon. The groundwork’s already laid.

Final verdict:

4.5 out of 5 for the dissolve music video. The song slaps, and the vision is loud, weird, and fully realized.
