Okay Kaya is back with new single “Check Your Face,” the track is lifted from the Norwegian-American artist’s forthcoming album, Oh My God—That’s So Me, available September 6th. The single is paired with a Lou Beauchard-directed stop-motion video depicting the song’s world of emotions. To better illustrate the song’s underlying playful nature, the artist picked out a famous quote by Australian journalist-writer Clive James: “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”

She adds, “Wrote this slacker disco song about wanting to be, if not a not a brightsider, then at least a belly laugher. Sometimes tricky to access just that bliss, but if you’re happy and you know it, check your face! It was fun and warming to make this track on the island during a frigid winter. It was a quiet time without much social stimuli. If you’re gonna dance alone in your basement, might as well make a song-to-dance match.”

Okay Kaya will embark on her North American and European tour. The North American leg of the tour will kick off in New York on September 5 at Xanadu, with stops in Montreal, Toronto, Austin, and Atlanta before wrapping in Los Angeles on September 13 at Teragram Ballroom. The European and UK run will follow shortly after.
