Press Info:
KÁRYYN announces her new 10-track album PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL), out 29 May via Mute. The news arrives alongside the release of the first single, ‘COLLAPSE PHASE’, out today with an official video directed by Jenna Marsh, and produced by Black Dog Films. KÁRYYN will also be embarking on a tour of the UK and Europe with Apparat.
PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is the latest from Syrian-Armenian-American singer and producer, KÁRYYN. The new album is a body of work distilled from years of lived exploration into existence, intimacy, and time, where sound becomes the structure through which truth is communicated. KÁRYYN’s voice is the gravitational centre, carrying both weight and fragility as it shapes the record’s sonic world.
Describing her new album “not as inquiry but as conclusion rendered in sound”, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) maps collapse and reformation through the narrative themes and structural truths of compassion, clarity, and courage. Grounded in physics as the universal language shaping time and space, she asserts that this same language governs inner spiritual coherence, love, and connection. “PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) isabout the forces that hold us, rearrange us, and pull us back together,” she says. “It’s a framework for understanding my relationship with Self. This record is the sound of my human revolution.”

The first single, COLLAPSE PHASE, opens the album’s universe with KÁRYYN at its centre, as the manipulator of forces. She opens with “You don’t believe me?” almost as a dare, to the listener and herself. Built on the tension between sustain and decay, the track moves like energy held far past its limit, no longer seeking release but asserting it. It captures the moment the final illusion collapses, revealing clarity rather than chaos. “COLLAPSE PHASE is the sonic threshold of confrontation and acceptance,” KÁRYYN explains. “It’s the sound of outdated systems breaking down—relational, emotional, foundational—no longer serving the universal truth that has arrived. It’s the moment I become the force itself, drawing everything obsolete to its end so something true can exist.”
Driven by gravitational rhythms, suspended vocal lines, and a sense of sovereign, deliberate rupture, the single introduces the album’s emotional stakes as a point of arrival, where agency is fully claimed and transformation is no longer a process, but a fact.
Directed by Jenna Marsh, whose work includes collaborations with Charli XCX and Eartheater, the music video is produced by Black Dog Films, part of Ridley Scott’s production company. It features legendary choreographer Supple Nam, whose career includes work for Guinness, Lucozade, and influential music and performance projects, in his first on-camera performance in 19 years alongside dancer Sattva Thanh-Tú Nguyễn. The result is a bold, immersive, and physically expressive performance.

PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) was produced by KÁRYYN and co-produced with James Ford and Hudson Mohawke, with additional production by Jacques Greene, Steve Nalepa, Luca Perry, and Duncan Fuller. String arrangement & performances by Raven Bush, alongside qanun performances by the internationally acclaimed Syrian qanun player, Maya Youssef. The album was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Joker. Built from voice, strings, modular synths and gravitational beats tuned to 432Hz, the record incorporates string arrangements informed by Armenian and Middle Eastern musical traditions, woven quietly into rhythm and melody as the record spans the intimate and the expansive. At its heart, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is a declaration of courage, connection and renewal; the willingness to confront, collapse, feel and rise. “I went hunting for dark matter”, KÁRYYN says, “and instead I found brilliance, light, and potential.”
