The family of the late Harry Hains has released the animated video for his first posthumous single “Good Enough”, under the artist name ANTIBOY.  The single is the first track off of his forthcoming concept album, A Glitch in Paradise, which will be released later this year. The video was animated and edited by @FVCKRENDER and produced by Harry‘s brother Sam Hains.

The animated video depicts Harry’s vision for a better future. The world of ANTIBOY is one free of societal constraints and labels.  The futuristic video follows the souls of two beings, both equally human and bionic, that long for connection, acceptance, and love. “You remind me how it hurts / Make me forget what I learned / Remind me how it hurts / Maybe it’s all too much / Maybe I’m not pure enough for you? / Maybe I’m not good enough for you / Maybe It’s too much for us … for you / You won’t tell me that you love me / Why do I try / You won’t tell me that you love me / It’s all a lie,” Harry coos softly in an almost robotic voice.  The song muses about not feeling good enough for the person you love mixed with the complicated emotions that come with that.

The Australian artist was a diversely talented musician, model, and actor.  He was featured in series such as American Horror Story and The OA, as well as starring in multiple films including, The Surface and Groupies. Growing up in Melbourne, his creativity began to blossom from a young age. As a child, he made horror films on a camcorder and wrote short stories and poems inspired by people who he spoke to him on a creative level like, Sylvia Plath and EE Cummings. He eventually moved to London for modeling, and then to LA to pursue a career in acting and music.

Harry didn’t define himself by the social norms and constructs we were brought up in. His concept surrounds a digital utopia where there is no inequality, prejudice, or toxicity.  As ANTIBOY, a genderless transhuman being, he imagined a world in which the human mind and the bionic body merged as one. Harry, who was gender fluid, lived this through his own identity, which in turn flows through his music. With themes like human consciousness, artificial intelligence, and non-binary existence, Harry opens up a conversation about what the future of society and our species could be. Harry’s extraordinary perspective encourages conversation and rethinking preconceptions of sexuality, gender, race, and self-expression.  His vision comes in good time, following Pride and the Black Lives Matter movement, as we rise up to call for equality and change in the fight against racial injustice and systematic oppression. His revolutionary concept of ANTIBOY offers hope for a different world, with the freedom to live without constraints or labels placed on us by society.

“Good Enough”  is the first taste of his forthcoming album,  A Glitch In Paradise that explores the world of ANTIBOY  through a genre-bending sound of rock, electronica, and gothic pop. ANTIBOY experiences glitches and gets stuck in an endless loop of heartache, as he re-lives and tries to correct his mistakes to find happiness.  With topics of pain, heartbreak, striving for perfection, and human existence, the project has endless layers of meaning and depth. The album was inspired by Harry‘s relationship with then-partner Mike.

Speaking on the concept, Harry previously explained, “ANTIBOY represents the idea that most things that we are taught to believe in are an illusion. The idea of gender, sexuality and race are social constructs. ANTIBOY is this place of true equality. The surface doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s really who we are…that’s what matters – the amalgamation of our memories and experiences. We are one human consciousness.”
