“...Shraya relies less on words and more on conveying an emotional journey through sound and vocoder-assisted voice, bending and stretching across every moment to take up space….What follows isn't a literal scream or cry, but Shraya's own sonic synthesis of meditative coos colliding into a bombastic end, leaving listeners with a sense of catharsis that can't really be put into words.” — Melody Lau - CBC MUSIC (on “When I’m Overcome”)

Next month, multi-hyphenate artist Vivek Shraya will release her latest album, New Models, out October 9, 2025 via Twin Fang Records. Today, the celebrated songwriter is sharing “Moral Panic” from the album, following in the wake of previous singles “Am I Doing Enough?” and “When I’m Overcome”.
Of “Moral Panic”, Shraya says, “Fear has long been a political tool to divide, distract and control and it’s more important than ever to be vigilant about what we are consuming and believing. At the same time, there is legitimately a lot to be afraid of right now and also looking ahead.
“Using mantra-like repetition, with looping vocal sounds and the lyrics, this song is my attempt at expressing how it feels being tossed between these opposing states, how everything can blur together."
The new single arrives with a video from director Julia Hendrickson who says, “‘Moral Panic’ emerged from a desire to explore chance and experimentation. Sometimes she succeeds, other times she doesn’t. Through this repetition, I wanted to convey a sense of overwhelm and release, where small gestures reflect the balance of control and uncertainty.”
