Wow. That's pretty awesome. Can we have an album now, please?

I loved everything about "t"!
The song sounds so Depeche Mode-ish; still so good! I wish vocals were as straightforward as in "o" (if that makes any sense), but this doesn't bother me at all... And after a few listens as I write this post, "t" also makes me think of it as an updated version of an electronic dark song from the late 90's / early 00's (a la The Matrix soundtrack).

And the video! Maybe the 2nd best of the bunch (of the long videos) so far (being "o" the best video up to today, IMO). It's so simple yet so beautiful. Photography is perfect. Following the storyline, this is the free Mandrake Girl. We saw the mud girl in the "n" video running away, so this is her claiming what's hers. An idea came to my mind that she flooded all over the place with "her milk". But then we have wrapped up car, which, at some point, has 6 girls on top of it.

I like the "t" video, I heard "o" before on mp3 but I'm not familiar with iamamiwhoami...what's the deal with the letter songs ? this is a musical group or a solo project ?

Very interesting songs.

Holy crap I love this track. So, I mean, there's no way to even deny it's Jonna Lee any more, right? Her face is pretty plainly visible.

I love the video, but the song bothers me. I can't understand any of the words, and I might as well be listening to static.

I love the video and the song. The bit where she reaches up and the sceptre appears in her hand is AWESOME. And the collar at the end! This is all an origin story for when Jonna rebrands herself as some epic international mandrake queen of pop, right?

The whole series comes across to me like some weird extended allegory for the music industry and the objectification of women. And it's AWESOME.

"t" is my second favorite. I'd love to see official lyrics... I actually really love the lyrics to "o" and it remains my favorite of the bunch.

I love the collar and the scenes of her dancing on the cliff near the end.

Speculated lyrics on iamami's facebook forum:

Above this world, now back again
Millions of years, where it all began
And there’s a hold
For the savior who had the purest of heart
Let this be with you soon

There’s a new world laid at your feet
We build an army from nothing
We raise our children to the beat
Of this comforting battle

Before the dark
Sought against our ways and means
We’re now against our own uphold, ’til we find a cure
And another path into the deepest hole

Behind all insecurity
There is wall of assurance
She is her own worst enemy
She fights her battles for no one

There’s a new world laid at your feet
We build an army from nothing
We raise our children to the beat
Of this comforting battle

They are singing for a new beginning
You know, but now
Water fills her lungs and she’s inhaling
You feel that now
Underneath the stars her body’s sinking
You know, but now
The air is silent, not a sound

You walked my life, you took it back
We made you sing, now turn the clock
There’s a was or a something new
Throw my body at the stars
Where the angels look

They are singing for a new beginning
You know, but now
Water fills her lungs and she’s inhaling
You feel that now
Underneath the stars her body’s sinking
You know, but now
The air is silent, not a sound

I don't know, but I hope soon! B and N are my current faves right now, the latter having only recently dethroned O (though O's video wins).

Yeah, I think Jonna's involvement is a dead cert, but I'm wondering who else is involved in the project.

And yes, lots better than that tedious Alejandro video. Rubber habits and bowl cuts? Try BREAST PUMPS, NAKED BOTTLE WORSHIP AND TREE LICKING.

It's pretty likely that one of the guys involved is Claes Björklund, who worked on her previous albums and plays keys for Travis.

Jonna Lee single handedly made me want to throw Xtina's new album in my toilet upon first listen. Now that's a feat.

Seriously, this is some crazily creative work she's doing. The beans need to spill.
