Happyboy

Happyboy is the first full-length album by Joe Sung-Rae. The sophomore project is an intimate analysis of childhood psychosis and emotional development.

The lead single, TheWayItIs, is a cathartic moment in which I created my own version of a symbolic transformation, having friends shave my head on camera while performing the track.

With album artwork and skits revisiting scrapbooks, vhs tapes, & childhood friends, happyboy takes nostalgia and challenges the idea of growing up.
