Exclusive Interview with Earth to Eve on a Generation of Disconnect and Her Newest Music Video ‘First Generation Degenerate’
Earth to Eve Is Real…
Another female artist to champion Women’s Month.
Earth to Eve is real. A real person, a real genuine person with real, genuine care, artistry, and ability, and that’s what makes her such a self-made creative force to be reckoned with. The artist behind the moniker, Eve Weisberger, embodies what it means to be truly independent. She writes and produces all of her music, films and edits every piece of social content, and designs the artwork that accompanies her releases.
With themes rooted in mental health, identity, and resilience, Eve’s music acts as both a mirror and a lifeline offering connection and compassion for listeners navigating the complexities of modern life.
This month, the alternative pop-rapper released her latest single, “First Generation Degenerate,” alongside a music video that deepens the visual meaning behind the lyrics. Something about Eve that feels especially telling of her talent is her lyricism. It’s sharp, equal parts wit, strength, and creativity. She’s deeply aware of the world around her, and through music she creates a medium to reach others who may resonate with her words or learn from them.
The video is simple but striking. Dressed as a clown, Eve wanders through polished, almost posh environments, embodying an eerie sense of apathy toward the chaos of our current moment. It highlights a feeling many people know too well: being so saturated with bad news and inundated with advertisements that we become disconnected, confused, and ultimately apathetic.
The circus-like imagery reflects the spectacle of the age we live in where everything feels like a performance, much like animals on display, existing only for us to watch with amusement rather than engage with meaningfully.
“It’s about craving a better future in a world designed to keep us sick and compliant, and the isolation of being labeled ‘too sensitive’ for seeing things exactly as they are,” Eve explains of the song.
There’s an eeriness in that awareness: the feeling of knowing what’s happening around us, yet feeling shackled by overwhelm to do or say anything about it.
The video arrives as Eve prepares to bring that ethos directly to the stage with The Oversharing on the Internet Tour, a spring 2026 headline run across the EU and U.S.

I had the opportunity to interview the multi-hyphenate artist, so read on to learn more about the creative mind behind the music.
Here is our interview:
[NM]: Your artist name Earth to Eve feels symbolic, how did you decide on that name, and what does it represent for you as a musician and storyteller?
[E]: I’ve always had a very vivid imagination and often drift off into my own world. I tend to get lost in my daydreams and struggle (or stubbornly refuse) to come back down to earth. So naturally, I get the whole “Earth to Eve” thing a lot. It also ties into my mission to transport people out of their world, and give them a place to feel all the feelings we suppress in order to function in our day to day life, even if only for the duration of a song.
[NM]: You write, produce, and often direct visuals for your music, how does having full creative control shape the stories you’re trying to tell?
[E]: Having full creative control of what people hear and how they hear it means being able to bring the stories and worlds in my head to life exactly as I envision them. It also means being able to try new ideas and iterate all of the time! For example, I started writing lyrics to a song and immediately envisioned the production having pockets of aggressive distorted 808s and nothing else, so I ran over to my computer and laid them down. Then I started picturing quick cuts of m passing the camera around to different versions of myself, in sync with the 808 hits, so I set up my tripod and filmed. All forms of creativity inform one another, and it's so fun to be able to play around and take inspiration from different mediums!!
[NM:]: Who are some of your artistic influences?
[E]: I have such a long list of influences and musicians that inspire me but I'll try to keep it relatively brief. In general, I love music that really makes you feel. I love the passion and soulfulness of Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Celeste, and Benjamin Clementine, the raw storytelling of REN, Bob Dylan, Joey Badass, Kid Cudi and Mac Miller, the feeling of being in a film you get from M83, Kishi Bashi, Labrinth, The Velvet Underground, Electric Light Orchestra, and Daughter. UGH there are so many amazing musicians to name, but I take a lot of writing and production inspiration from everyone on this list.
[NM]: For your recently released single, “First Generation Degenerate", you speak upon a very relevant and heavy topic in today's societal and political climates; did writing this track change your perspective on your own role as an artist or a voice for your generation?
[E]: I personally feel it’s the responsibility of artists of all mediums, especially in times of crisis, to reflect the times in their art, earnestly, honestly, and with conviction. In general I think that’s what an artist's role is in society, a sort of scribe of the times.
[NM]: Your voice is unafraid to confront political and social issues head-on. What gives you the courage to say what others might shy away from?
[E]: I don’t know if it's courage so much as it's me being angry, disgusted, and heartbroken and trying to channel all of those feelings into something actionable. This is the age of information warfare. Corporate consolidation is worse than we’ve ever seen (which the administration is seeing to) and when atrocities are committed they are wiped from social media feeds, excluded from mainstream news outlets, and twisted into false narratives for headlines. I wanted to use my music to share information that I thought people needed to see and get it onto the feeds of those who may not otherwise see it or be exposed to a reality beyond the one that is their immediate life. In other words, I couldn’t not use my voice.
[NM]: How do you balance vulnerability and strength in your writing when tackling heavy subjects like societal injustice or personal struggle?
[E]: To be honest I don’t consciously think about it. I just write what I feel in the moment and try my hardest to not censor myself and overthink just how vulnerable I’m being. If I were to think about how I’m spilling some of my deepest, darkest thoughts onto the page for all the world to hear, I would probably freeze in fear and not be able to continue writing lol. When writing about what’s happening in our society, I think it’s less about vulnerability for me and more about writing with extra intention, care, and respect.
[NM]: Looking back on where you started and where you are now, what’s one lesson about this journey you wish you could tell your younger self?
[E]: You are enough!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t let anyone dictate your limitations or tell you what you’re capable of. Only you are the judge of what you can and cannot do.
[NM]: What’s a dream collaboration or creative project you haven’t done yet but would love to explore?
[E]: I’ve always wanted to write a musical (or short musical film) to accompany an album, or to help write music for live theatre in general! In terms of dream collaboration, I would love to work with REN. He’s a visionary in all facets of his creativity.
[NM]: Also, since our magazine is called DETOUR, I always like to ask, what's your detour? What's your creative redirection or hobby, something outside of the music that is also an important part of you and your story?
[E]: AHHH I love this question! I’d say I am arguably as obsessed with fashion as I am music, and more specifically thrifting and personal styling. Waking up can be extra tough sometimes, but playing dress up has always helped motivate me to get the f*ck up out of bed. I feel like I’m dressing my Sim for the day and making an outfit out of whatever makes me happy to look at! Fashion has also always been such a fun way to express different facets of myself and my personality. I get to design my soundtrack and how my character looks! It’s so fun!
[NM]: Who is one artist on the rise that you really love at the moment and would want to share with us and our readers?
[E]: It’s hard to choose just one artist, but right now I’m obsessed with Slimdan’s music!! His song ‘Forever-ish’ is a masterpiece!
[NM]: So excited for what more you have in store for us this year!
