ワシントン州シアトル拠点のインディーポップデュオ Chinese American Bearが、5/29にMoshi Moshi Recordsからリリースしたニューシングル 'Feelin' Fuzzy (毛绒绒的感觉)'のMVを公開!
Chinese American Bearは Bryce Barsten, Anne Tongの夫婦2人組。
自主リリースしたシングルが評判を呼び中国の老舗レーベル Modern Skyと契約。活動を広げていき、今回の新曲からロンドンの老舗 Moshi Moshiと契約。
英語と中国語、USインディーとC-POPを織り交ぜるバイリンガルな感覚が魅力的で、曲についてのエピソードは決して明るくないけどサウンドが楽しく包みこんでるのがかっこいいです。
“When I was writing the lyrics for this song I wanted to lean more into my experiences growing up in a Chinese immigrant household. I had a stereotypical tiger mom who had very high academic expectations and set very strict household rules. When I was a teenager I was never allowed to go to friend's homes after school, never allowed to go to parties or school dances on weekends, and definitely not allowed to date. My days were strictly focused on studying, practising piano, and preparing for exams. This song is about what I longed to do during my teenage years instead of the upbringing I actually had. I have very vivid memories of my mom reminding me to study and practise over and over again, and I wanted to capture that repetitiveness in this song. I'm hoping other kids of immigrants can relate!” - Anne Tong
