The Words At Play is the upcoming first single off the EP of the same name. It is the first of all-new original music by MJK (Michael J. Keplinger).
The title track encapsulates the sound of the EP with its atmospheric sound and reflective lyricism. Once again written, performed and produced entirely by Michael J. Keplinger, the single was mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.
The Music Video
The title track appears as the first chapter of The Words At Play: Visual EP. This 16-minute short film is composed of five interconnected music videos mirroring the EP of the same name. Written and directed by MJK, the film moves between narrative fragments and subjective imagery, forming a quiet meditation on language, memory, and emotional inertia.
