The summer of 2024 has been soundtracked by a wave of innovative and lyrically introspective pop music. And with the release of her electrifying new single, “Green Lights,” multi-hyphenated artist Michaela Jaé is out to captivate and inspire the gurls to not only move to the rhythm, but move forward.

Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy-nominated actress Michaela Jaé catapulted to international prominence for her three-season portrayal of Blanca Evangelista in the groundbreaking FX series Pose. Her current role in the Apple TV+ comedy Loot has continued to garner critical acclaim.

In August 2021, Michaela Jaé released her debut single, the funk-infused "Something To Say." She now returns with the pulsating "Green Lights." Co-written by Michaela Jaé and co-produced with Nick Smith and Micah Gordon, "Green Lights," is an introspective and moody pop/dance song about reconciling one's past self.

The ethos of "Green Lights" is punctuated by a dazzling music video that draws influences from Michael and Janet Jackson's 1995 music video "Scream" and features brilliant choreography by Danielle Polanco. Directed by Dani Cerny, "Green Lights" introduces Model 33F7, a hybrid being from the future.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Michaela Jaé describes Model 33F7 as a loose metaphor for herself. "She's [Model 33F7] trying to reconcile her past to be able to inform the present so that certain things either won't happen or won't continue to happen in the future where she's at.”

Slated to appear on her much-anticipated debut album, scheduled for a September release, “Green Lights" is not just another pop song. It radiates with energy, electro rhythms, and poignant lyrics, all of the ingredients for an enduring anthem for those still conjuring the courage to embrace and move past the red lights and forge new paths of our own.
