Everything goes away Disappear (it has to) Float away I’m sorry to be so sensitive I feel like I can talk to you More about words than people here How do you know I’m normal, too? Get off on your messages wanna get off on your messages Playin the percentages Send me all your messages *blocked* Atmosphere. Dissipate. Image world. E’vry day Baby you should know that no means no Even though I did say yes before Does it really sound like I should care Boys swite right and girls ignore

Runaway Bay Run run run run run run run away Stay with me Bae Baby it’s okay Let’s stay in tonight Lock the doors Turn on all the lights We like it bright Cuz White paint It's the new color It’s the color of our lives White paint It's the new color It’s the color of our lives Hard to stay awake In our little middle class palace -OH Look at the view It’s just oh so oh so fatally new You can dream and pretend Life is plastic We only get what we spend It's fantastic Runaway Bay Run run run run run run run away Stay with me Bae Baby it’s okay A wall is beautiful, not only because of its plastic form, but because of the impressions it may evoke. --- It speaks of comfort, it speaks of refinement; it speaks of power and of brutality; it is forbidding and hospitable; - it is mysterious. A wall calls forth emotions. Made a mistake Plaster will break Runaway Bay Run run run run run run run away Stay with me Bae Baby it’s okay

I got those rhinestone studs on my guitar amp I got my autograph copied in a signature stamp I got that sofa, tent, rug, and a 60 inch screen I got that glamping camping magazine Check this pink neon jacket made of Indian pleather Digital autotune of us singing it together Do we want to get out, out of here I got that fuzzy taxidermy behind plexiglas I got a fantasy team but they're comin' in last These virtual players it’s two against one A leopard skin print on my digital drum Double reels, double takes, buh-baby it’s you Second play, second life, buh-lieve me it’s new Do we want to get out, out of here A simulated life it feels so safe It’s like we don’t know real anymore Searching for another way to escape It's like we don't know real anymore Wanna sip of sham champagne we can pour A shame it spilled all over your linoleum floor I got that minigolf urge and I’m playing it for pleasure Visual, criminal, so much clip-on architecture Double date, discount deal, a dacron duvet Automate, copy-paste, all the music I play Do we want to get out, out of here A simulated life it feels so safe It’s like we don’t know real anymore Searching for another way to escape It's like we don't know real anymore Appropriated, mass made, popular taste Fair use context is my saving grace Got that 8-track vinyl on my mp3, Got that Gloria record singin’ 1,2,3 Forty-seven people singing, they wanna follow me They wanna find slick authenticity And I said hey, baby, yo, baby what’s the problem here Got a song in my heart and I got no fear

Never Enough 03:36

Business you can play But lust without the light Empathy for losers Who go down without a fight Yeah this compromising place Takes you in its arms Complicit in the stage And fade into the night To the suburbs in the desert Where ev’rythings alright Go to church on Sunday Bow your head and pray You’re still alive Too much is never - never enough When is it ever - ever enough Too much is never - ever enough We know how to work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it hard Fantasy is fact But we can feel our pulse Tourists in a dream Enraptured by the cult Wash away the glamour Nothing takes its place Everyone’s a star Or no one is at all Get into the car The view’s of a shopping mall The city is at fault --- And your house is at the edge Too much is never - never enough When is it ever - ever enough Too much is never - ever enough We know how to work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it hard HEY! HEY! Go Get em’! If you want the glitter, you can meet me there Step into the street, diamonds (diamonds) in your hair Sips her seventh cocktail on her silicone chest Live it up, do it up, everything in excess But we ain’t done yet People look at me, I look at the people Money rooms got cash in the club at Palomino Loathin’ fear exotic, and they all gettin glitzy Mingos in the basement they all (they all) feelin flitzy Casino carpet tiny dress, doin it Rococco Poppin the Prosecco, they all goin’ loco Venturi n Denise, (‘) definin’ the design Mazarati on lease and a Chrysler Turbine. Now they take it back, --- the cash on the bed Spinnin their roulette, while we goin home dead People look at me, and I look at the people (triplets). Hide the trash, burn the cash, Vegas Casino. Too much is never - never enough When is it ever - ever enough Too much is never - ever enough We know how to work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it, work it hard We know how to work it, work it hard

about

NÆ will take you on a glitter-infused dance pop road trip in her Debut Album, Push Button Future.

According to Scapi Magazine, "NÆ’s new album, Push Button Future is a dance-pop confection with a biting edge, commenting on modern-day issues of consumerism, commercialism, influencer culture. It’s bold, flashy, with elements of rap and EDM splashed throughout, skewering white privilege in a catchy way."

NÆ’s music is both satire and performance art, with overarching themes exploring problems of systemic entitlement, latent addictions, and over-consumption. Push Button Future is the collaboration between the artist NÆ (JaNae Contag) and Composer, Musician, and Producer Ryan Black (aka Blizzle). The album presents a sonic experience marked by dominant stylistic influences of contemporary electronic dance pop, with R&B, mo-town, 80’s synthpop, and EDM subgenres.

NÆ’s songs are catchy and fun, but only flirt with the traditional love song lyrics that one might expect from pop music. Throughout the album, NÆ performs caricatures of women who personify the hapless results of aspirational lifestyle marketing. In her 70’s pop-inspired song, “Mannequin Man [feat. Blizzle]” NÆ has an affair with a department store mannequin as a way to escape real life. In “Sugar Pumps [feat. Blizzle]'', NÆ performs as a sugar-addicted aerobics dance instructor. Her workout routine spirals out of control in this up-beat, sample-based dance track (Produced by Ryan Black and Justin James).

With Push Button Future, NÆ brings listeners on a journey to surreal places, strange encounters, and never-ending strip malls… yet presents themes that hit at the core of our American identity as consumers.
