Formerly known as Little Coyote, Teagan Johnston, is a singer-songwriter who drives pop music beyond its current borders. She wrote My Luck during a period of creative stagnation. It channels feelings of unluckiness, disconnection, and the strange dynamics that seem to surface when life stacks the odds against you.

I love the build-up of the song. Although it begins quite quietly, the sound gets bigger and bigger as it progresses. The vocals are well-suited to everything that’s happening in the background.

The accompanying video, directed by Johnston herself and filmed by Dzesika Devic, was shot at Niagara Falls; a site Johnston describes as a perfect embodiment of the song’s emotional duality. “Niagara Falls is a place that simultaneously feels it has given up but is also trying harder than anywhere,” she notes. “It’s gritty, dirty darkness while also being shiny, bright, and over the top. The juxtaposition of gambling, drinking, and shiny lights with the unbelievable force of nature of the Falls smack in the middle of it creates a type of energy I will never tire of.”

My Luck deserves widespread recognition. Check it out below!
