MusicFirst LookShamir – If It Wasn't TrueExclusive: The Las Vegas artist shares a tripped-out homemade video for his plushy nu-disco trackShareLink copied ✔️March 31, 2014MusicFirst LookTextJazz Monroe Williamsburg label Godmode specialises in cassettes, vinyl and photobooks for NY up-and-comers like noise-punks Yvette. Now the grassroots imprint reveals a glitchy video for “If It Wasn’t True”, further cementing the prodigy status of 19-year-old Las Vegas singer Shamir Bailey. Shot by Shamir with Anthony Sylvester editing, the clip treats cute hometapes with goofy fisheye and chop-up effects that suit the song’s bedroom-disco stylings to a T. It’s a freeform assortment of twerking headstands, foam-beard fun and Las Vegas neon, all intercut with fabulous house party hijinks that echo ’80s Manhattan loft culture. Appropriately, the music itself follows the lineage of NYC disco and DFA – all semidissonant pulses tickled by antsy snares and hi-hats – as Shamir’s sinuous vocal vogues down memory lane. “Love Me?!” reads the teen’s Twitter bio. He didn’t need to ask. "If It Wasn't True" is out now on the Godmode compilation COMMON INTERESTS WERE NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP US TOGETHER Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MORE10 of Yung Lean’s best collabs‘We’re like brother and sister’: Yung Lean and Charli xcx in conversationTrail shoe to fashion trailblazer: the rise of Salomon’s ACS PROIs art finally getting challenging again?The only tracks you need to hear from November 2025Inside the world of Amore, Spain’s latest rising starLella Fadda is blazing a trail in the Egyptian music sceneThe rise of Sweden’s post-pop undergroundNeda is the singer-songwriter blending Farsi classics with Lily Allen 6 Flog Gnaw artists on what’s inspiring them right nowDazed Mix: Ziúr Parris Goebel is creating the music she wants to dance to
