Haviah Mighty Kicks Summer Off With Her New Single “OK!”

JUNO and Polaris Music Prize award winning artist, DJ and producer Haviah Mighty kicks summer off with her new single, OK!.  Produced by Sauceboy, Nahum, Amir Jamm and Thabo, OK! is a welcome reprise of her main topic of convo: self-assurance, with a cheeky, empowering video to match, celebrating and embracing her value.

Of OK! Haviah Mighty explains, “OK! is an affirmation song through and through. It’s a non-humble, loud, amplified, radical acceptance that you (and others) are amazing. Inherently. ‘Hop out the bed, good morning! look at my face, it’s glowing…'” Barring up over hard knock 808’s and a repetitive catchy synth, Haviah raps of being real, being in a flow state, being indifferent to the competition and not having too many issues with the ladies… “OK! is a feeling, mood, even an era… it’s when you defeat stagnancy and accept momentum with love. When you like the hustle, and the fruits of your labour.”

Throughout the track there is also an air of don’t test me that can be felt in the first verse, while the second verse focuses on serenading the ladies for a well-rounded, anthemic bop “that makes you wanna krump, twerk and jump into a mosh pit!” offers Haviah. Additionally, the gang vocals at the end showcase community and reminds us that we are not only here to celebrate ourselves, but others as well.

Accompanying the single today is a music video, directed by Shiraz Higgins. The video magnifies every lyric with exaggerated visual, and pushes the envelope of what each lyric could mean. Every scene is treated like a movie, with focus on momentum, allure, and most importantly: comic relief. Shot in Victoria, BC, the video came to life over the course of two intense days – 30+ scenes and 30+ outfits!
