Iyer's signature post-genre pontifications are in full bloom on her latest single "What can we grow that we can't see from here?" in which Iyer reminds us that the groundwork for new, radical futures can be laid by our own hands. Such prescient lessons are a prominent fixture of Iyer's work -- current and past -- this time delivered with a thumping, controlled pop sensibility that says even when things feel stagnant and unclear, there is a way through.

"'What can we grow that we can't see from here?' is an exploration of hope, transformation, and radical imagination. How do we let go of structures that no longer serve us and build something new together? How do we trust the unseen processes beneath the surface? In nature, so much growth is invisible - roots stretch deep underground long before anything appears above the soil. This song is about that kind of patience and trust as we break down this dissonant world and work together to rebuild it.
The director of the video Bucky Illingworth came up with so many beautiful concepts to showcase these themes. One of the things he said that really stuck with me was about re-imagining the future and normalizing radical acts as an everyday part of life -- simple acts of love, affection attention, genrosity, service, redistrubution of wealth, returning land. The video is a reflection of this re-imagination."
