It is likely that you hadn’t heard about ena mori. Listening to the Filipino-Japanese pop artist’s latest song “Heartache Generation” is a great way to enter her creative world. This track arrived accompanied by a one-take music video shot using smart sunglasses. 

Encapsulating ena’s new sonic direction, it’s the first single she is releasing since her 2022 album, DON”T BLAME THE WILD ONE!. The singer-songwriter did link up with frequent collaborator Tim Marquez to create “Heartache Generation”.

She shares, “We experimented with different textures of sound, such as nylon guitar, percussions, and synthesizers, and it definitely gives a dimension that is different from the previous releases. Sonically, I added tiny but significant touches of new sounds here and there, something you haven’t heard from my album.”

She adds that: “Heartache Generation is written by me, and it’s about being afraid of getting older and feeling overwhelmed with life that changes so quickly—an existential crisis that comes with anxiety and pressure.”
