August 1, 2024 – Today, Grammy-nominated artist Porter Robinson released the official music video for “Easier to Love You” off his new album SMILE! :D via MOM+POP. [Watch here]. 

The music video directed by Japanese stop-motion animator and artist Tomoyasu Murata conveys the bizarreness and pain of wanting to be seen in the social media era.  Like the album, “Easier to Love You” touches on themes of self image, and the pain of trying to fulfill your potential. Reflecting the intimate sentiments of the track, the bittersweet video sees its main character find peace in their own self-worth while absorbing the playful, kaleidoscopic duality of SMILE! :D.
“I met Porter by fate and encountered “Easier to Love You.” This song evoked profound feelings within me. Although what has already happened cannot be undone, no conflict is ever necessary to end another conflict. “Easier to Love You” ignited the power of imagination in me. This is the most essential power to live in this world.” – Tomoyasu Murata
“Easier to Love You” is a further depiction of the intimate and vulnerable artistry showcased throughout Porter’s third studio album. In the week since its release, SMILE! :D has garnered widespread acclaim, with praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Independent, NME, The Line of Best Fit, UPROXX, The Skinny, and more.

SMILE! :D is available in a number of physical formats including a Deluxe Box Set packaged in a custom reusable carrying case which includes: a double LP in opaque pink vinyl, exclusive 7" opaque pink vinyl of “Cheerleader”, exclusive lyric & photo booklet, and exclusive album art print—the first 500 of which will be signed by Porter, and first 2,000 of which will be hand-numbered. A milky pink Urban Outfitters Exclusive and an opaque baby pink Amazon Exclusive is also available.
Porter Robinson will bring the SMILE! :D World Tour to venues around the world this Fall with his highly anticipated 70+ date global outing. Robinson will debut a completely new production including a live band. The multi talented artist announced this week the addition of three new dates in Texas and Washington, and is also moving venues to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. The SMILE! :D World Tour will kick off on August 29 in Boston and hit notable stops along the way including Forrest Hills in New York on August 31 and Hollywood Bowl on October 11, before heading onto an Asian run which spans 9 cities beginning November 2024. Porter concludes the tour by traversing across 8 countries in Europe throughout February and March 2025, including a stop at London’s prestigious Brixton Academy. Dates in Australia and Latin America will also be announced soon. For more information on the tour and tickets, visit porterrobinson.com.
