We’re premiering ‘My Religion’ from See How, out March 27th via MMAAYYAA.
The track is built around a simple but effective idea. Instead of writing a traditional vocal, it assembles a collage of spoken-word samples taken from cultural figures across music, spirituality and activism. Quotes from Nina Simone, John Lennon and Bob Marley sit alongside each other, forming a single thread that moves between personal reflection and wider social themes.
That concept shapes the entire structure.
Rather than following a standard arrangement, ‘My Religion’ unfolds gradually, allowing each phrase to land before shifting forward. Repeated lines such as “my religion is kindness” give the track a sense of cohesion, even as the voices change.
Musically, the production stays restrained. The rhythm is slightly off-centre, built around minimal electronic elements that never fully settle into a predictable groove. This keeps the focus on the vocal fragments while still giving the track enough movement to hold attention.
It sits somewhere between experimental electronica and club-adjacent territory, without committing fully to either. That balance works in its favour. It allows the track to carry an idea without feeling static.
‘My Religion’ follows See How’s earlier work exploring wider themes, but this time turns inward, focusing on belief, identity and shared values. The result feels more like a statement than a single, something designed to be taken in rather than simply played through.
