New York’s SASAMI shares cinematic new single/video ‘In Love With A Memory’ featuring Clairo – a wistful track that lingers like a ghost. The track is another preview of SASAMI’s upcoming album Blood On the Silver Screen, out 7 March.
SASAMI shares the following about ‘In Love With A Memory’ and her collaboration process:
“‘In Love With A Memory’ was actually the first song I wrote that ended up on Blood On the Silver Screen. I grew up going to Japanese or Korean ‘noraebang’ private karaoke rooms with my mom, who was secretly the most incredible singer. Most of her go-to numbers were oooold Japanese and Korean folk songs that low key kind of made me feel like I was in a horror film or David Lynch movie. I can picture my mom in a Julee Cruise-type setting- single, jazz lounge spotlight and cigarette smoke hanging stalely in the air- singing one of those old songs with the most gorgeously haunting vibrato and breathtaking vocal control. That’s the feeling I was tapping into when I started writing ‘In Love With A Memory’, and there is a very timeless but relevant crooning feeling imbued in the song that I think was perfectly reflected by the production that Rostam and I orchestrated together.

Claire has been a longtime, long distance friend and dream collaborator for me, so it was such a magnificent gift for her to lend her voice to the narrative. I really imagine this track as a cinematic duet with a ghost.”
