mikah Releases the Music Video for 'Escape'

mikah who has been gaining attention for his collab with 88rising, has started a trilogy singles project, Homesick. The MV for its first chapter is OUT NOW

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After releasing his latest single, “Escape,” on all major streaming platforms, singer-songwriter Mikah has now dropped the music video for the track. This song illustrates the contradictory feelings of wanting to chase your dreams while longing for your homeland, all while finding a place to call your own. A creative team from France was invited to work on the music video, which was shot entirely on film. Set against the lush forests of Yamanashi prefecture in Japan and a striking, minimalist house, the visual adds a cinematic layer to the song’s emotional depth. The video features childhood friends whom Mikah calls his “true friends,” capturing their genuine smiles and gestures in an unfiltered and natural way. Shot with the quiet beauty of a short film, the video is filled with intimate, cinematic moments that subtly weave in foreshadowing for the next installment of this three-part single series, gradually revealing the worldview of the trilogy.

“The smiles you see when we’re playing soccer, that’s the real me. Those laughs are genuine.” – mikah

The Homesick trilogy is a collection of works that expresses mikah’s personal emotional journey with “Escape” showcasing his starting point, and continues onto “In Between” (middle of the journey), and “Dream” (Homecoming or Reinterpretation). The series shares how mikah has navigated through his life and artistry thus far; he shares his path through hardship, his wanderings, and struggles.

“I dreamed of leaving home, now I dream of finding one.” – mikah

The following chapters, “In Between” and “Dream,” are currently scheduled to be released on November 18, 2025. A music video for “Dream” will be released, continuing the storyline introduced in the “Escape” music video.
