Ushamami - Jinx

We got a chance to chat with Mena Sachdev, 23, also known as Ushamami about their new single and music video “Jinx”. This Valentine’s Day, 80’s-inspired bop is a follow up to their debut EP Proximity. It is a rumination on the anxieties of being in love and in lust – with a polyamorous twist. The video blurs the lines between the surreal and the real, and is an assertion of queer desire, style, sound, and connection.

excerpt:

Emotionally, the track represents the thought process I go through when I’m first starting to be into someone. We (the production team) took that concept and ran with it for the video and used the visual to explore the complexity of queer relationships and intimacy that we have encountered. With the way the timing and editing process worked, Valentine’s day was the perfect hook for us. Jinx really feels like an assertion of queerness rather than a just reaction to misrepresentation, and releasing it on a historically hetero holiday makes this release all the more exciting and, hopefully, impactful.
