Vancouver songwriter Amanda Sum will release her album New Age Attitudes this September, and she has now shared a video for the track "Awkward Bodies."
The song is a smooth, lounge-inflected soul-pop number with an accompanying video that finds Sum overcoming the discomfort of a live performance by disappearing into a dumpling-filled fantasy. It was co-directed by Sum along with Jo Hirabayashi of Jo Passed.
The dreamy song was engineered and mixed by Olivia Quan, who tragically died earlier this month. Quan was a close friend of Sum, and a press release notes that this song was a particular favourite of Quan's.
Check out "Awkward Bodies" below, and stay tuned for New Age Attitudes in September. As a way to support underrepresented artists, the album was recorded by an all-female recording team, and performed by a band entirely made up of Asian women.
