After the recent announcement of her new album For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), available March 21st via Dead Oceans, Japanese Breakfast, has shared a video for lead single “Orlando in Love.” The video was directed by Michelle Zauner herself with cinematography by Peter Ash Lee. For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women) was Produced by Blake Mills, known for his work with Perfume Genius, Conor Oberst Fiona Apple, and many more. Made at Sound City in Los Angeles — birthplace of After The Gold Rush, Fleetwood Mac and Nevermind among other classics .

The album follows a transformative period in Zauner’s life, releasing her breakthrough album Jubilee and her bestselling memoir Crying In H Mart catapulted her into the cultural mainstream, delivering on her deepest artistic ambitions. Reflecting on that success, Zauner came to appreciate the irony of desire, which so often commingles bliss and doom. “I felt seduced by getting what I always wanted,” she says. “I was flying too close to the sun, and I realized if I kept going I was going to die.”
